chitowngirl 886 Posted July 27, 2012 Just want to pause and say how great full I am for this wonderful life I'm living. I'm not living an extravagant life. My husband and I are working class people we don't even make 6 figures combined. We rent because we'd be broke in a tiny house if we bought in a decent area in Chicago, the schools here suck and I'm going to have to pay tuition for my son to attend private school, but you know I'm so ok with all of that. I love my life the only problem I had was my weight, and now I'm 4 months postop and loosing. It's surreal, a once upbeat happy person, I'm now on top of the world, I'm literally ecstatic!!! Life is great. 7 AliveAgain, Mishy, Minckle and 4 others reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AliveAgain 283 Posted July 27, 2012 It makes me happy when I see people like you, being appreciative and happy for what you have instead of jealous or miserable for what you don't have. I'm right there with you. I've been out of work for nine months, we've had to put having kids on hold for longer than we'd like, and I'm trying to work out how to move 3,000 miles to be closer to family. But in the meantime, I love that I've had this time to heal and work on my health. To reprioritize what is important and put myself to the top of the list again. I'm thankful my weight loss journey has been uncomplicated and easier than I expected it to be -- not easier in that I haven't had to work hard at it -- but that I'm not struggling with it as much as I expected. I feel wonderful, and I'm so grateful to be getting my life back! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
