What we are eating and what's eating us.Sunday!
Hey Miss cutie,Paulette! Of course you will find something legit to eat! Almost everyone is health concious enough to have some good stuff along with the "bad" stuff. I always keep some cheese sticks,or healthy bars with me.
I hope the big lunch works for you,I do not eat any big meals anymore,I eat a series of small ones, and go back in hours,if I am hungry,if not,I let it go...
I envisions some lucious looking healthy food at your gathering,let me know how it goes.
My work team will be going out for our holiday meal,I will do as last year,order my half of slab of ribs,and a salad or fruit,take most of it home,and let the family munch on it, I still manage to get enough of a 2nd serving to be content.
For me,learning that social gatherings are just that, has helped much. No one really gives a fiddle what you eat.
I sometimes find myself grossed out at how others are eating,quite a turn from the old me.
In the years before WLS,I could never get enough,had to have it all,and was still empty inside.
It is another lesson well learned from the great mother of addictive behaviour,AA. "One drink is too much,a 100 is not enough".
Enjoy that new figure,you sexy,ho momma!

Miss Linda.......I got quite a chuckle over your reply! 
The benefit went fine. The food buffet was alot of no-nos but I managed to find some that were better choices. Salad.. lots even though it was drenched in Italian Dressing and green beans almondine, picked out the bacon, and fried chicken breast minus the skin. Tonight I had a sugar free chocolate pudding as my reward for making it through the dinner.
I managed to skip the mostacioli, the taco sald, the mac & cheese, the fried potatoes, the cake, donuts and pudding desserts. Drank 2 cups of coffee and 1 glass diet pepsi. And it really wasn't that hard skipping all those old trigger foods.
They really looked unappealing to me today. the support of my OFF family makes all the difference.
Big Hugs, paulette

And all this time I thought you knew the "real" me....
NOT.... LOL
Seriously , I knew what you meant. I have a similar problem it's not that I can't spell...It that my typing skills leave much to be desired.

You fell??? OMG that can be scary. Hope you are alright. Nothing bruised but the ego? 
Your gumbo sounds good. I have some shrimp that has been in the freezer too long, that will go good in a gumbo. Will have to change my menu... 
I'm finding I don't like being alone.... I was looking forward to some free time with Mom at my sister's. So far I've been rattling around the house restless. I know I will get a lot of sewing done though. B: soft boiled egg & toast
L: brunch with kids.. probably soup
D: will try the gumbo
S: protein shake
Have a Blessed Day

Hello sweet Millie!!! I am bruised,came down on both knees,and shoulder hurts,but ya know what?? I could rise up all by myself!
It is strange how when you know you are falling,can not get your balance,and have to accept it. My dear Annette has said I need a tripod..LOL!
I have not laid in my bed for a year now, I live with pain everyday, so I make the best of it. It is ironic that when I was much heavier,I could curl up in a ball of fat, and sleep,but it was not good, it was loading myself up with so much with food, that I would pass out,always promising myself that tomorrow would be different.I thank God for waking me up everyday,and putting me on "auto", soon,I am dressed and ready for work.
I am blessed to have a ride that picks me up at my door and takes me anywhere I need to go,for a reasonable price. I talk on the phone all day,hear many sad stories,what with the economy being what it is,and so very many good,salt of the earth people suffering.
If I did not get to go to work,in a big place,where I see and spend time with such a diverse crowd of people...I think I would go bonkers.
I have learned,for me,getting outside of my self, giving empathy and support in a business world,where I am free to have a human side,is another of God's greatest gifts to me.
I have a job,I have beautiful grands and kids,I love people.
I have OFF. How good does it get??
I will be making a doctors appointment,and I am so happy I was able to vote early,from home.
I bet sewing relaxes you,I know it does me. I crochet simple things. I have tried to make a scarf and hat for Connie,but always feel it is not good enough...such is my nature.
At this stage of the game,I know I will not change...as Popeye says."I yam what I yam".
Gentle hugs to you.

My Kyleigh is still in the hospital. They are still watching her and trying to determine what her diagnosis will be. They are thinking maybe bi-polar. Please keep her in your prayers!!

Hello dearest Connie,you and your family are in my prayers. I hope they can define Kyleigh's illness,and treat her correctly,life is so much harder for children than in our time of youth.
I understand the lack of appetite,and the physical pain,made worse by stress.
I would so change places with my child,and take her pain. I know you would too. What can we do? Pray and stay strong,I talk to God a lot.
Be well dear heart.
