dinner by design

ok...here is the scoop... with my mom being sick and spending so much time with her we had fallen into the trap of fast food, pizza, chinese...whatever you get the point... anyway a friend from work asked me to go with her to dinner by design...a bit expensive but I went ...totally loved it made the 12 meals in less than 2 hours just the entrees because my kids don't eat vegatbales cooked or touching anything else on the plate@@ and only eat brown rice again not touching anything else@@ My husband was really willing to hate this WHOLE damn thing according to him, but we have had REAL meals at home and I have altered them to fit my needs and therefore the families needs...so like tonight's maple dijon pork chops I told them I needed sugar free syrup and VIOLA... there it was... it was really nice over the holiday to take real cooked melas to my parents, and have that with the family. Since each meal serves 6 I can either take to mom and dad or have for lunch the next day which helps me in the long run. Over the holiday I didn't gain any weight, didn't loss any but a stall of weight gain in the last few months is a definite plus! I am going again in January!!! it gives me 12 meals I don't have t othink about...love that! no room for fast food at this house... WE ARE TOO IMPORTANT!!! Happy 2008 everyone! expect to see me more often I need the support and I need all ya'll who understand the struggles and don't eagle eye or evil eye everything and make snide comments... why are people so...people-ish???? hugs to ya! Nic here is honesty for ya 291 highest weight size 28 161 lowest weight size 6 199 current weight size 14 GOAL size 10!

Hang in & we are hear if you need to rant or rave, Hey,I do all the timel Just read my last post to Connie. Ladybug Marilyn

that sounds wonderful! its just me in my home. you'd think thatwould work perfectly but it doesnt. i dont' like to cook for just one so many times i eat just something that doesn't sound bad but is. i'm sick of eating frozen dinners so instead i'll have a sandwich or cheese sticks or cereal things that do not last and are not giving me what i need. i' mgoing to look into this place thatyou recommend. i have started cooking again on sundays. for the past 2 sundays i have made a pork loin just for me. it lasted for a few meals after wards and my dog loved having left overs. the week before i made chili. ok so chili doens't sound good right? but i made it with kidney beans and ground turkey. it was good. that lasted along time too. i'm already planning on cooking sunday and might make either a pot roast or a chicken. this is a big deal for me who hasn't really cooked for herself in almost a year. if we're gonna be honest here....oh lord i hate to remind myself butttttttt 301 highest weight size 28 157 lowest weight size 6 175.5 current weight size 10 goal size GIMME BACK MY 6!!!!! I put my 6 away i couldnot even get the zippers to touch. my 8's are in the back of the closet, the button at the zipper meets but if i put it together i'd not be able to breath and the zipper would refuse to go up. my 10's fit but are getting tight and if i'm gonna be honest the 12's are just right. if NO WHEN i lose just 10 pounds my 10s will fit perfectly alittle lose and the 8's might be doable that would make me happy. pammy would be thrilled if it was 15! work it work it

Nic, I totally loved it when you said: no room for fast food at this house... WE ARE TOO IMPORTANT!!! I've heard of Dinner by Design and wi**** was around when I had a family to feed. We sure would have eaten healthier meals. Hugs, Connie
