Rejection is a hard one for me. I’ll have to think about it. Then again, maybe I’ll skip this one.

14th - rejection. I think I'm thankful for all of them. I'm in a good place right now and probably wouldn't be here if I'd followed a different path. It's possible I'd be in a better place but it's also possible I'd be far worse off.

Day 14 gratitude - I am probably most grateful I was rejected by the person I was pursuing before I met my SO. Man, would that not have been a good match... whereas my husband complements me about as perfectly as one can. It really worked out for the best, as much as it hurt at the time.

Yeah, same. I hate rejection (real or perceived). The only way to develop a gratefulness for it is in hindsight.

Oh my rejection is such a difficult topic, yet we truly can learn so much from it.

Okay, so the one true time I was (IMO unjustly) rejected was for a job back in 2012.
My former boss sold his business and the new owner promptly closed down a store and almost all of us were laid off. The reason for it was the new owner had a daughter who had just graduated pharmacy school and a son who was in retail management and he gave them the jobs and I had less than 2 weeks to find a new job.

Because of the schedule change, I was free to attend an OU tailgate and it just so happened that’s where I met hubs. At that time, he lived 150 miles away and was in town for that one weekend. So.... total fluke we met and we’d have never met otherwise had I been in previous job.

I agree! Everything happens for a reason. :)

Day 14: Rejection

This one IS tough to talk about....

I don't know that I have exactly gratitude for any of them. I do have learning and acceptance for all of them though, but I am sometimes a slow learner there. Lol.

Not one of my rejections, however devastating some of them felt at the time, was the stop sign in front of me that it may have seemed like it was back then. Instead, they were only Detour signs- and I learned, most of all, that life goes on and that it WILL continue to take you to places not on your handy, dandy foldable map.

So I try to swerve when I can, and attempt to enjoy the scenery- no matter what the view- because I know a person rarely gets to drive that same route twice. Still on my learning permit though... 😉

#15 - Body part I'm most grateful for - My uterus (which I no longer have) because it blessed me with 4 wonderful children.

Day 14
Not a clean day at all! Between the airline food and getting to resort, I've not felt as in control of what I put in my mouth only because I am not home. I've tried to stay on plan though not as good as I would like 🤷‍♀️

Rejection most grateful for? I honestly can't think of one[emoji848] Could be jetlag? Maybe my first job interview, it was after undergrad and between med school. I interviewed for a job that would have probably sucked the life out of me and I was never more relieved that they rejected me (hindsight is 20/20). At the time I was very sad because I needed to save some money for school BUT I got a better option later.

Like most people have mentioned, I'm so so happy and content with where I am now that those past disappointments/ rejections had to have counted for something good.[emoji119][emoji114][emoji176]

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      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.
