Hi Everyone,

I have posted something like this before. I thought it might be a good time to repost this and see if it helps anyone.applause.gif

Things aren't always as they appear. Sometimes what seems to be the end is really just a new beginning. Like a caterpillar turning into a butterfly. batlashes.gif

I remember a time when it felt like nothing could go right. The whole world appeared to be teamed up against me. But I kept on moving forward, even when I couldn't tell exactly where I was going.asleep.gif

I found in life it's not about attaining a goal. What's most important is who we become during our pursuit. I happen to like who I have become.deal.gif

If every day is starting to feel like a struggle and your desires appear to be getting further and further away- Stop. Take a minute to breath and read through these Encouragement Quotes. I love quote and I am alway reading them.heart.gif

These of some things I have put together to encourage you when you are having a hard time, or your weight loss has slowed down or it has stalled, or someone is “bullying” you, or they are giving you a hard time about having weight loss surgery. Or you are just having a BAD DAY. We all have had some of these things happens to us during the process of weight loss or the planning of having WLS. I hope they are a little helpful.cool3.gif

1.Learn from others who have been down that road and popped out on the other side- successful, empowered, and matured as human beings.—Unknown Author

2.When you come to the end of your rope, tie a knot and hand on—Franklin D. Roosevelt.

3.When life gives you a hundred reasons to cry, show life that you have a thousand reasons to smile—Author Unknown

4.The world is round and the place which may seem like the end may also be only the beginning—Ivy Baker Priest.

5.It is not the mountain we conquer but ourselves—Edmund Hillary. This happens to be one of my favorite quotes and it has gotten me through a lot of tough times in my life.

6.If one dream should fall and break into a thousand pieces, never be afraid to pick up one of those pieces up and begin again.—Flavia Weedn

7.Pain is inevitable. Suffering is optional. –M. Kathleen Casey

8.It is not easy taking my problems one at a time when they refuse to get in line.—Ashleigh Brilliant

9.Rock bottom is good solid ground, and a dead end street is just a place to turn around—J.R. Cobb

Some things I want you to consider—just some thoughts of my own.

Success is not a race, be patient.

Success leads to success.

Success is always a work in progress.

Success doesn't come to you--you go to it.

Success is a journey, not a destination. Focus on the process.

Some people dream about success... while others wake up and work hard at it.

Success is achieved and maintained by those who try-and keep trying.

Every day is a good day to SUCCEED!

When you get to a plateau, think of it as a landing on the stairway to your goal. gossip.gif

Hugs,

Hi,

I thought they were pretty powerful. Sometimes just that little boost is helpful, or just what you need to continue on with your success.

Thanks for the comments,

Suzanne

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
