    Default Thank You

    I just wanted to say Thank You to Everyone on this site.
    I have never been a "group" person.
    I have always been self employed (still am) and have been comfortable in a 1 to 1 experience.

    However I stumbled on this site in my research and instantly felt connected and comfortable with the balance of perspective the WARMTH and the knowledge that you all so kindly contribute to give and I snapped it up.

    I have felt supported by reading All of the threads and felt humbled by many of the challenges that YOU have all negotiated.
    The empathy and the intelligence is Amazing.
    I have the greatest respect for you all.

    I made the decision to take control of my life last year by putting my own well being first from now on.
    Its been easy with your help and the help of knowledge and indeed my surgeon and his team.
    What I mean is it has been fun and being able to eat healthy is actually my preferred way I like healthy foods. Pre sleeve I just ate too much and added too many carbs as I did not feel sated - so I had too big a portion and too little activity and ate too late as I put myself last in the queue.

    This tool has given me the opportunity to feel in control organised with meal preparation in advance and fully sated.
    My energy has returned I love my swimming and my new Tri Cycle - I chose this because its perfect for me and I can balance it have shopping basket back and front. Pop 2 of my older dogs tiny dogs in the crate on the back with their harness clipped on and off we all go.
    feeling alive and happy.

    My clothes now in the last week have started to look good.
    I went out the other evening and socialised - I have not really seen anyone since October last year due to various reasons.
    People gasps was so rewarding - Even the men said "You are looking WELL !!"
    Thats all I needed and do you know I felt it and owned it I do indeed feel well and blessed.
    A million Thanks - just for being that friendly community that helps me objectively feel I can express myself once in a while.
    So for me today was I wanted to say simply 'Thank You"

    I am not at my goal weight yet whatever it will end up being is exciting and motivating its a journey that I really am enjoying. But WOW that feeling that my mind is relaxed with the knowledge " I am Happy with myself " Thats special !
    Bye for Now xxx

    Well done on your continued success.
    I too love this forum. It is so nice to be able to read about people's experiences, ask questions (and not feel like a dummy) and get such true support from people I have never met (and will probably never meet).

    Yay Carla!! You are doing super well and I am so glad you enjoy it on here. I get the healthy eating comment. I ate healthy most of the time as well but just too much. I did indulge occasionally but overall had a good diet. I did exercise but it was the large portions that had me stuck. I am so glad I took the plunge and I love seeing all the success of all of you other sleevers as well. Hope you stick around!

    "I am happy with myself"...
    That is mind blowing, isn't it?
    That is also what this is all about, right?

    You are doing great, and I have no doubt whatsoever, you will continue to do so.
    I am really happy for you!
    Thanks for being here!

    I too love this forum, I am so glad I found it.
    Thanks to all of you, that share all your wisdom and experiences!
    English is not my first language anymore, so I may and do make mistakes in my spelling, or say things oddly. Please ask me, if you want any clarifications.

    I too was sort of teary at the "happy with myself" idea! You've absolutely nailed it. We all chose to do something for ourselves - for our health, for our participation in the world, for our joy and yes, for our appearance as a happy byproduct of other good choices.

    Thanks for reminding us all that we matter to one another Well done on all accounts, Miss Carla.
