Post Something POSTIVE Thread

[speck 1]

I thought it would be good to have somewhere to go daily to read something positive.

I've decided with my new way of life I want to be as positive as I can with friends, family, work, social life, food, etc.

I'm no longer the glass is half empty.

So, I'll go first.

I'm thankful that there was a medical intervention for me to change my life where food was concerned. I now have the opportunity to go in the opposite direction then where I was headed.

It is a SPECTACULAR fall day here......the colors are breathtaking!

I wake up with enough energy to ENJOY a day like this......last year, most of my days were spent on the couch!

I'm trying to think of something from my heart that hasn't been copied from something I've heard from someone else....so here goes:

I have been blessed with a wonderfully supportive husband who wants only for me to be happy. He literally saved my life when I started dating him nearly 8 yrs ago. He is the reason I am happy today!

Every aspect of my life has changed. The obesity cloud has lifted. It affected everything in my life. Socially, I hid out because I felt I was being judged because of my weight. Sexually, I hid out. Life is good. I wake happy every morning and love my new self

Banded 5/9/08... Positive:

I am positive that this was the right thing for me to do. I feel better than I have in many, many years. I'm off nearly all of my MANY meds. I've met some wonderful people here and elsewhere that are on the same journey.

I have a job to go to every day and the best son a mother could want. I have a loving mom and wonderful friends. I could go on and on.

Thank you for a wonderful thread... there's so much negativity here sometimes.

What a wonderful thread!

My positive for the day is: I am so blessed that I woke up once again to a beautiful day.

Hi:

From size 26/28 to size 12 (324 lbs. to 176 lbs.) in less than 18 months. I know it can seem so overwhelming to need to lose more than a hundred pounds, but it can happen, and you will feel great once your weight loss starts. I feel 20 years younger!

Best wishes to all of my fellow bandsters.

I love that story, I had read it a while back, but it never fails to choke me up and realize there are angels watching us!

Thanx for the boost!

Iys a cool fall day here and the rain just started to fall, but somehow my knees haven't been screaming like they normally do. I can only assume its the 23 lbs I've lost so far.

I can now wear Blue Jeans again!!! I had a couple a pairs stored away in a "someday I'll be able to wear these again" box and that someday has come!!! In fact, I might have waited too long cause they are a little roomy. Oh Well, I'm not complaining.

Great Thread Idea! God Bless!

Wow! What an awesome idea!

I think sometimes we let life get in the way and we forget to stop and smell the roses.

Today I am posting that I lost four pounds literally overnight.

No joke.

Okay!!

I know positively without a doubt that my band has extended my life. I have used it to reach goal----I no longer take a single prescription medication! My blood pressure is normal, my blood sugar is normal, my cholesterol is normal (my Dr. giggled over it---giggled I swear!), my knees do not ache, my feet do not require birkenstocks to walk a block----in fact they were swapped out with cute little flip flops that matched all my clothes!!!

I can ride my horse again.

I can ride the motorcycle in my leathers and not feel like I am the entire cow on the back!

And as good as the band itself has been-------this site is one of the biggest positives in my life, I have made such wonderful friends! Some I have met (my Shrinking Violets) others I have not met yet, but I am thankful for all of them every single day!!!
