On October 20, 2011, I will have my first professional presentation to a new metabolic practice.  There are two new doctors who have formed this practice.  They will have a public presentation on this date and I will be there to represent ObesityHelp's great support group formation. 

I am learning as I heal from my loose skin surgeries, that I am getting so well.  My new body symmetry and how nice I truly look in and out of clothing, makes me realize how fortunate I was to be able to have these surgeries.  They came difficult and I had lots of complications.  But the focus is on wellness, being made whole and being put back together again, as would be a normal person.  Oh, sure there is still cellulite, but it is the nature of the weight loss situation, more so than normal.  But by vitue of the fact that I no longer have to stuff my loose skin into the waist band of a skirt or pants or shove a sleeve over bat wings......well, who knew how great that would make me feel - NOT to have to dress the old way!  So today, I remain thankful to my higher power - in the past Your Mercy, in the present Your Love, and in the future, Your Providence.  I remain humbly grateful.

It is so hot here in the La Grange IL 60525 area!  I usually walk 1 to 3 miles each day.  But I will be the first one to admit how remiss I have been in doing this exercise, with how hot it is now. 

No excuse, but nevertheless, I own it!  I find that I now feel sluggish, 'cause I have not been my active self.  This feeling has proved to me that one of our great WLS components is Exercise!  Without it, we decline to the slippery slope of weight gain.  I even have a pet stroller and take my cat, Buddy, along for these walks...now he is restless, I am observing.  He has not been out to see the world from behind the safety net of the stroller.   But it is "out" for his change of scene that he is missing.  And I don't like how I feel without my walks.

So, we will go out once again, no matter how hot!  How about you?  Are you as easily kept indoors like I am?  The one thing I have learned for sure since my WLS is heatly food and living, a good therapist and my exercise!

I wish you all great movement! 

This should be the correct link to the  next OH Event in New Orleans! 

Thanks!

I just heard from Debbie Doty!  We are all excited to remind everyone of the next OH Event, which will be held in New Orleans - Sept. 9 and 10, 2011!   Check out the event location at  www.obesityhelp.com/events
   

On our WLS journeys, each day presents a new challenge.  Some of these challenges are small and manageable and others are daunting.  I would like to have this page open for any comments, suggestions or solutions to our unique issues.  Feel free to post or contact me.

One meal at a time, one day at a time.
