joatsaint 2,814 Posted November 15, 2014 I cringe everytime I hear someone use the word "journey" when describing any life realted event - not just for WLS. I've never felt comfortable using the word... so I'm not knocking anyone that likes to use the word. But I finally found my word - adventure. What's your favorite word to describe your "adventure" in WLS? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JillC878 59 Posted November 15, 2014 That is such a fabulous word! I might have to steal it from you! I really have not called it anything up to this point. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Inner Surfer Girl 12,015 Posted November 16, 2014 I like journey but haven't put much thought into it. I do have lots of adventures along that journey with times of rest and a few excursions along the way. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NewLife'sGr8 241 Posted November 16, 2014 I'm with innersurfergirl. This is a WLS journey for me with many adventures along the way and tangents. Lots of tangents. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BLERDgirl 6,417 Posted November 16, 2014 I have many journeys. I like the word. To me it speaks to walking a positive path. When I talk about my sleeve it's a procedure. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gowalking 10,790 Posted November 16, 2014 As long as folks understand that it's a lifestyle change that will have it's ups and downs, you can call it a journey, an adventure, or a process. I think they're pretty interchangeable.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

McButterpants 2,846 Posted November 16, 2014 I don't feel comfortable with "journey" though I've used it for lack of a better word. I've used process. I really like "adventure"!!!!!!!! That is spot on! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ready2B 263 Posted November 16, 2014 I am on my 5th day out - today the word is "ordeal", LOL! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CowgirlJane 14,260 Posted November 16, 2014 TRANSFORMATION. I am truly transformed. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sharpie 3,306 Posted November 16, 2014 I use journey because I am still on the path. Once I complete my "journey" maybe I can say something different. I am following a path to health and wellness I guess that is why I call it my journey. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
