Thank u :-)

I love all of the quotes on this post and need to print them all out! I was so stressed before surgery, mine was "You got this!". might need a new one now....

Oh I thought of another I tel myself all the time. "Dig deep!"

Truly a reinforcing "mantra" for making the right choices even in the face of temptation - "It's what I do."

I'm thinking about getting mine tattooed on me. Just to remind myself.

iamsoworthit,

What a great mantra. I love it. Indeed words to live by ~ on this journey and every journey.

Thanks.

I like what DLCoggin's says:

"You are going to love the new you!"

Saw a good quote attributed to Bruce Lee today: "A goal is not always meant as something to be reached. Often it is just something to be aimed for."

On your journey your original goal may change or be replaced by one totally different. As we change so do our goals. But the original goal got you started on your way. :-)

I've turned to many things in making the decision to pursue WLS. One that helps me hold onto my courage to get the sleeve in July is:

" Every person dies, not every person truly lives"

I always tell myself, "You did not go through all this to not reach your goals. Keep on going." And, of course, I tell myself how fabulous I'm looking.
