I simply can't imagine where I acquired an extra 100 lbs, but it's got to leave before the health issues get worse. Grandma12, Thanks for your wonderful last post and the yummy healthy treat!
You are only too late to be in the running for the fat quarter rewards...you are NOT too late to begin eating better, working out the best you can, and starting now for a better, healthier tomorrow...and in the case of some of us, we will be at this diet regiment for a long time to come...so looking forward to becoming friends with you, encouraging you, and doing what ever the occasion needs.
As for me, I did not have surgery to help loose the weight.
So have intentionally directed trupeach to remove me from the running, no matter what...so that others who struggle and really want/need that fabric can have a chance.
I was in the hospital from Nov-Dec...discharged just in time to sit and look gray for Christmas...believing it would be my last really did not make it a very cheerful occasion for the family.
I was not supposed to survive to my birthday...which was back in April. So now that God has spoken to me letting me know that he still has need of me, regardless of what any doctor specialist has to say about it...am beginning to feel better, loose weight, and found a doctor to take more regular care of me, and not just click the stop watch...saying "we have 5 minutes...go!"
For me to quit my diet is to die...literally.
They gave me mega doses of a steroid cocktail to keep me breathing...and it burned out some essential organs and glands ...no big complaints here, I am still alive.
But now I take meds like you would not believe...and also am now totally insulin dependent. Deviation from the ultra strict diet I am on is to die...I can not get tired or bored...I am simply not quite ready to go.
...so I will be seeing you here...and you can see me here.
Lets all work together to make this dieting a success for each and every one.
Hugs, Prayers and Blessings to you all...
Your very own, Grandma12
