I told him he was splitting hairs & I couldn't believe the President of MLS would act the way he was. (He's pissed @ me because I am so shut down, now he doesn't get any vibe from me... & I look good ... how dare I not give him any good vibes...told me "who the hell are you" & I answered softly,"Right, who the hell am I after 3 years of working to build your company." He bolted to the door, I said "wait don't just run out" "No" he said & he ran out the door. He knew he went too far. RW said to me after, you 2 are funny how you guys banter because I said "whatever" is what teeny boppers say. I called Holb 4 Pattie & she was snotty 2 me... Either he told her to be that way or he was nasty 2 her too. -

2.3cc in my band? per Powers... had .3cc + 1.00cc + 1.00cc? I thought I had .5cc more added it should be 1.5 cc/1.8cc whatever! I feel restriction! L:4 tbsp matzo ball soup & 3/4 cup stuffed derma 400cals D:Duh! I can only have liquids to-day.. it's soup to nite fish w spinach & horseradish (per Ms Mel)Joy , Kathy & Powers said I look good. Powers came up to me & shook hands w me. Mel said sometimes the restriction disappears after the 1st couple of weeks. Mel said not to eat if I'm not hungry. She said the Nutri would disagree but I should stick to 800 cals & not eat when not hungry. She said it's because I eat 800 & exercise that I lost 4 lbs she said "If you lose 1 lb a wk..that's 52lbs in a year.. most wt loss patients don't have any parience...they all want to loose it quickly, you have to give it 2 years." I told her "I'm serious about losing the wt this is not a dress rehersal for me... I also know if I eat 1500-1200 as per nutri I'll never lose wt. " Powers had to do my fill Mel couldn't find my port. He loved my saying @ the support group mtg "build a bridge & get over it" Mel said "what did they think they were on the Jerry Springer show?" Mel told me not everyone PBs when I told her it never happened to me. right now I feel restricted. He was v subdued to-day ... I didnt go to mgmnt mtg & it's Valentines day...I pissed @ him & he knows he's wrong, yesterday I asked him wordlessly in his office after sales mtg" So, this is your love for me?" With his eyes he said "ILY"

"Do not let your fire go out, spark by irreplaceable spark, in the hopeless swamps of the approximate, the not-quite, the not-yet, the not-at-all. Do not let the hero in your soul perish, in lonely frustration for the life you deserved, but have never been able to reach. Check your road and the nature of your battle. The world you desired can be won. It exists, it is real, it is possible, it is yours." - Ayn Rand.

GRATITUDE Every day is a blessing, and in each moment there are many things that we can be grateful for. The world opens up to us when we live in a space of gratitude. In essence, gratitude has a snowball effect. When we are appreciative and express that gratitude, the universe glows a bit brighter and showers us with even more blessings. There is always something to be grateful for, even when life seems hard. When times are tough, whether we are having a bad day or stuck in what may feel like an endless rut, it can be difficult to take the time to feel grateful. Yet, that is when gratitude can be most important. If we can look at our lives, during periods of challenge, and find something to be grateful or, then we can transform our realities in an instant. There are blessings to be found everywhere. When we are focusing on what is negative, our abundance can be easy to miss. Instead, choosing to find what already exists in our lives that we can appreciate can change what we see in our world. We start to notice one blessing, and then another. When we constantly choose to be grateful, we notice that every breath is a miracle and each smile becomes a gift. We begin to understand that difficulties are also invaluable lessons. The sun is always shining for us when we are grateful, even if it is hidden behind clouds on a rainy day. A simple sandwich becomes a feast, and a trinket is transformed into a treasure. Living in a state of gratitude allows us to spread our abundance because that is the energy that we emanate from our beings. Because the world reflects back to us what we embody, the additional blessings that inevitably flow our way give us even more to be grateful for. The universe wants to shower us with blessings. The more we appreciate life, the more life appreciates and bestows us with more goodness."

"Even though you may want to move forward in your life, you may have one foot on the brakes. In order to be free, we must learn how to let go. Release the hurt. Release the fear. Refuse to entertain your old pain. The energy it takes to hang onto the past is holding you back from a new life. What is it you would let go of today?" - Mary Manin
