A little Wednesday Morning Reflecting



Recommended Posts

This quote hangs in my kitchen near where we come in and out as a reminder to myself and to my family to always live in the ring, to never sit the bench in your own life. As I sat here drinking my Protein Shake waiting to get the kids off the camp so I can go to bed (Night Shift) I really started to reflect on how this quote relates to us and to all of you in our WLS journeys. We've all faced adversity, failures, judgement and yet we are here, still making the conscious decision to change our lives. How many times have people outside the ring made hurtful comments about not needing surgery, but will power, or about taking the easy way out? They do not stand in this ring they don't know your struggles and they don't know how NOT easy this road will be. I can't take credit for the quote itself, it's from my girl Brene Brown but it's hung in my home for a long time and its brought peace in many situations I have face especially the journey I am on now! I wanted to share because I thought it may help someone else to see that those critics don't matter. Their words are painful but their words cannot stop us from achieving all that we have set our minds to. Have a great Wednesday everybody! ❤️

Now that is One of our former Presidents I would have loved to meet and talk to. If he had 1/2 the sense of humor as his Daughter.Alice Roosevelt Longworth, he would be Fascinating, simply Fascinating! And a plug for my Natal and Still My State, Nicholas Longworth was. once a Congressman from Ohio.

Frustr8 I hope I didn’t make it sound like I didn’t know it was originally his quote 🤦🏼‍♀️ I just meant I didn’t find it myself I heard it from a Brene Brown Ted Talk.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
