So I started listening to some old music on my ipod today and two songs spoke to me in a different way than from when I listened to them back in the day. One was U2s "Some Days are Better than Others" which I used to like for the music...but today it reminded me that the journey to a healthy me is not going to be a straight line...there will be some days better than others. The second was an Alanis Morrisette song called "Not As We". The song is basically about starting over after a bad relationship...but it spoke to me in a different way as I get nearer to my surgery date. The chorus has the phrase "Day one and I'll start again" which I think is what resonated with me.

So then I got to thinking wonder if other people have a song that inspires, motivates or that just resonates differently with them as they are on their own WLS journeys....

I don't have one, but I'm going to get one . Great idea.

Yes I had (have) one! A couple of months before I went in for surgery I was listening to a song that really spoke to me. It was Michael Jackson 'Man In The Mirror'. I still listen to it and it keeps me moving!

Mine is "Defying gravity" from Wicked lol

It's time to try

Defying gravity

I think I'll try

Defying gravity

Kiss me goodbye

I'm defying gravity

And you won't bring me down

Lol Baby got back!

ROAR!!! Katy Perry. it really gets me in the mood for exercise and daily commitment.

also, Girl on Fire works for me too!

'cause i AM a champion, and you're gonna hear me roar!!!

Francesca Battistelli Free To Be Me

The one speaking to me at the moment is Free To Be Me by Francesca Battistelli.

My husband and I had surgery the same day. Our song is "Here's to Us" by Halestorm.
