Good morning ladies and gents!!!!

Happy HUMP DAY.. Small victories are what keeps me moving forward but also the people and things in life that I couldn't do this journey without. Today I want to share some of the things I am thankful for.

My MFP friends who I consider to be some of the very best friends I have as there is no judgement between us, there is just true care and concern for each other.

My best friend Robyn as she pushes me to be better then the day before....partly because in the end I'd like to be smaller then her. (yes, I did just go there).

My boyfriend Reggie as he understands my weight loss surgery and the struggles. He also wants only the best for me, therefore.. he doesn't want us to go out to eat, wants to get active together, is willing to join a gym together...

My parents as they are allowing me to live at home rent free while I rebuild from a bad place in life.

My immediate co-workers as they are super supportive.

I am also thankful for my basic health that overall is very good. I may be big, but I am not unhealthy.

For my surgeon who keeps it real with me and wants only the best for me.

For my doggie who keeps me sane... Those with pets will truly understand this.

    That's a lot of thankfulness. I'm so glad to see you feeling good today.

    I'm kind of in a rut mentally/emotionally. Once again, finances had started to look like a positive turn, and now are nose-diving. Hoping beyond hope then bashing into a wall over and over again is exhausting. So with everything today, the overflow has gone to not caring - about deadlines or due dates or things I need to handle ASAP.

    I guess the one thing I'm thankful for is that even though I had disturbingly involved fantasies about my fiance's ice cream last night, sticking to my way of eating is mostly automatic. I kind of laughed annoyedly at myself about the ice cream, made the choice to have a WOE friendly treat instead of fighting myself on it, and was please at only a 0.2 pound gain today...

    So I'm thankful that the binge voices in my head are mostly at a dull roar today.

    I'm thankful that most of my lifestyle changes aren't restrictive to the point where I'm dying for "real" again.

    And I'm thankful for all you amazing folks who continue to inspire me on a daily basis....
