Default They Keep On Coming..Another WOW!

I grabbed a frozen turkey last week for Thanksgiving. Today as I took it out to defrost it, I thought, wow, that bugger is heavy!! I looked on the tag and it read the weight. 22 pounds! I stood there by the sink, hoisting it up and down, marveling at how heavy it was, when it dawned on me...that I have lost the equivalent of 4 of these turkeys! Numbers don't show a clear picture, but thinking of it that way, opened my eyes wide! No wonder I feel so much better, lol! When I go to the store again, I'm going to try to lift 4 at once, to get an idea of how much lard I had been carrying around. What a great a visual aid, and what a great WOW moment!!! Thank You, Jesus!!!!

Alt Weight Loss Surgery Insurance
Yes, you can often get insurance cover for your Weight Loss Surgery.
Our own Craig "Big-T" Thompson has been there and done that, and he's written an e-book about it.

If you have a hard time juggling all those Butterballs, go over to the pet aisle and pick up 2 40-lb bags of dog food! I used kitty litter to drive it home, when I tried to lift 3 40-lb tubs. I couldn't even carry two of them up the stairs, and I used to wear three of them?

This journey is one wild mind trip!!
