Get your minds out of the gutter, ladies. I have started loosing weitht, BUT it is so hard not to snack on the wrong things. We took everything wrong out of the house and replaced them with healthy food to eat, but I still eat too much.

Bill & I are walking almost every night, grocery shopping lasts twice as long with us both looking at lables. Sept 6 we both go to a class on diabetes and I guess I'm on my way to a different way of life. I think the hardest thing to do will be wearing shoes all the time. I hate shoes and even garden bare-foot. Oh supporters, please help me be strong. Love and BIG HUGS. ..Free

BB, when I think of garden clogs I think of little wooden shoes on my pretty little feet. I'm dancing around in this yellow dress with a white aprin and my hair is in pig tails, lol. Can you guess what I am? Love and BIG HUGS. ..Free

Thanks Min, your words mean a lot to me. Now get your mind out of the gutter and come walk with me, it's almost time. Of course you have been doing that for as long as I have known you, so you would walk circles around me. Love and BIG HUGS. ..Free

Hi Jana, I don't think we have met. I'm the yellow rose of Texas around here and one of the crazy ones here. Between my down days, I love to laugh and enjoy the group here. I'll have to go back and read some of your posts so I can get to know you better. Thanks for the support, Jana, I sure do need it. Love and BIG HUGS. ..Free

Oh Lor, yes, you all are here for me, I know. Will y'all start up a list of who will be coming down when and slap my hand every time I think of eating? Of course you all will have to pay your own way, but what are friends for? LOL,

Hey girl, how is that granddaughter of yours doing. I got to see my niece's little boy the other day, he has finally come home. He is 6 months old and weighs 10#, 8oz. It took him a long time to get this far, but he is a true fighter. I got to hold him too, fun. Love and BIG HUGS. ..Free

Char, what a friend you are to all of us. I think you are right about feeling the way we both do about failure, but I also know there is a tomorrow too. I'll look for that magazine when we go shopping next, thanks. I also ordered a diabetic cook book, should be getting it any day now. Love and BIG HUGS. ..Free
