To all my friends who were at the ABMC support group today,

I do not have enough words to express how much I appreciate all your kindness and words of support.  From the clothes to the hugs and all the advice.  I have been in a really big funk lately and I knew I needed to get to that meeting. 

It is really unbelievable how much everyone's support and advice has made a difference to me.  I feel so much better, and have spent the rest of the day doing what I love to do which is cook.

I made some of the recipies from this board and from egg face's site, and prepared my ideas for the week.  My house smells really good now and I feel like the old me who used to cook from what I learned on Food Network shows all the time.  I felt like me again, just from cooking.  I made from Egg Face site:  The 5 min chocolate cake in a cup  ( pretty good)
                                                 The tortilla pizza for my dinner   (very good)

                                                  Dawn's custard recipie from the main board recipies  ( awesome)
                                                  Roasted red pepper soup from Melting Mama's site    ( awesome)

I also hard boiled a dozed eggs to have for the week, and roasted spaghetti squash and put it in the frig for a few days of veggies.  I love spaghetti squa**** is my pasta.

I am so greatful for all of the kind words that has helped me get out of my funk.  I will take everyones suggestions to heart, and try to be more positive about myself and my progress.  We only have 21 more days til we go to Disney, which is "My Happiest Place on Earth" so I am going to use that as my incentive for the next 3 weeks.

Wendi, if you are reading this, I did try the shorts on and cant zip yet but I am closer than when I got them.  Thank you!

This site is a Godsend to me, and I thank everyone for their daily posts and sharing of their lives.  You all truely make a difference!

Way to go my friend....keep up the good work.  Now, just remember all those little WOWs and make the list for the fridge.

Put those shorts away and try them on once again before you leave. You might just be surprised.

Hi Eileen!

It was so nice to meet you at the meeting Eileen and I am happy that you came and reached out to us! I know that was hard for you and you have a tremendous amount on your plate right now. I am glad you are feeling better about things, but if things go back down hill for ya, you know we are here for you! I am in the same boat as you Eileen and I can relate with your situation.

Take care Eileen!! Glad to hear you were cooking the other day and feeling better! I'm here for ya!!
Love,
Jill
