Silly I know... But if you could give your WLS/Journey a "theme song"...

What song would you choose for "before" and "after"????

These are my choices...

BEFORE THEME SONG...

(You See the Real Me - Natalie Grant)

AFTER THEME SONG...

(This Girl is On Fire - Alicia Keyes)

Stronger! Only the chorus, obviously!

LOL the song from Rocky for before and I just wanna fly by sugar ray for after hehe this is fun:)

Great choices!!!

'I'm sexy and I know it' Ha Ha!!!!!

Before is "it's my life" by Bon jovi, and I'm taking it back.

After, my flab and I are "never ever ever getting back together" Taylor swift. We are broken up for good.

Or "50 ways to say goodbye" by train, because I've kept the surgery a secret, I think I've told people about 50 different ways I've lost the weight.

Lol... Love your answers

PS... You look Great!!!!

Let's Go by Ne Yo. Gets me energized!

before - "You See the Real Me" - after "This Girl is on Fire"

Yasmine

the "before" song by Natilie Grant has beatiful words

words are very sad, hard to listen to

words hit too close to home

I / you / we see too many true words in this lovely song

"for me" - it would be too much of a down song that i don't/need/want to listen to

i was that person in the song before - i will always remember her

i am only looking at my healthier, happier wonderful future

sounds like i'll have a bunch of great uplifting songs to chose from for my after

Oh wow, what a fun topic!!!

The theme to Rocky and I Am Woman by Helen Reddy

I am woman, hear me roar

In numbers too big to ignore

And I know too much to go back an' pretend

'Cause I've heard it all before

And I've been down there on the floor

No one's ever gonna keep me down again

Before = I can't make you love me

After= wild one by Flo rida

Thanks everyone for sharing. I really like this thread... <3

I absolutely LOVE music, and I find it very healing...

I realize that my "before" song is very somber, but that song speaks my truth. In fact, I listened to it over and over right before my surgery. I was about chicken out, and that song actually help me.

But I'm pleased to say that my "after" song... which I guess really isn't an after song, cause I'm only 2 month out- It's a vast contrast!

With the weight that I have lost so far I'm already gaining confidence, and self esteem which I soooo needed. I forgot how it felt to feel Pretty, Empowered, and Worthy.

My advice to myself, and others...

Do not dwell on the past..

(Forgive yourself and others)

Enjoy the present...

(Acknowledge the small triumphs)

& Look forward to the future...

(It's never too late to live happily ever after!!!)

May God bless us All O:-)<

Before song would be Another Day, by Paul McCarthy. My after song would be I'm Coming Out, by Diana Ross.
