I've been thinking about you all and hope you are doing well. I've been absent for well over a month, now, I guess - first of all I was working crazy hours in June (I'm a teacher with 2 part-time jobs, so they both basically end up having full time hours in June). Then, to top it off, I had a major bout of Crohn's Disease. I'm feeling much better now, but I'm going to have to change my diet plan. I was trying Atkins, but since right now I can't eat much fibre - no raw fruits or vegetables, no whole grains, not a lot of meat - it isn't really practical. I've been living on lots of soft-texture foods (puddings, white bread, macaroni, etc),and unfortunately they don't fit really well with dieting!! So, anyway, I'm just working on portion control of the foods that I can eat. That's my update, and hopefully I'll be around a bit more from now on.

Been wonderin' where ya been, woman! Sorry about the bout of Evil Innards...Crohns SUCKS. Do you have diverticulitis as well? (Not that you NEED it...but sometimes it goes along with Crohns...)I'll look into things you can eat while still trying to diet...missed you!

OMG I almost typed 'knockers'...well, that would still be appropriate...

Hi there, mom2! I was wondering where you'd gone. Glad you're back, but sorry to hear you're not feeling well. I have to tell you, tho, that food sounds good to me!!!

I started back on Atkins (yes, again), but this time I'm sticking to it (well, pretty much). No big losses, but losses!

Hope you will be on the road to recovery soon.

Keep in touch!

Dawn
