Quote From: queenb2009

Hi just stopped for a moment to see how everyone was doing this is queenb sharon remember me? If not it is ok I have been away for a while I am happy to report that I am still hanging in there I am still trying to maintain my weight I just talked to Karen the other night and thought I would stop in to say hello and let you all know I haven't forgotten you hugs and you all have a great day sharon

Now that you have found your way back, don't be a stranger.  It is good to see you back and to know that you are still maintaining.  For me it has been an up and down affair, but I have not given up.  Will keep riding on this wagon until I learn how not to fall off. 

  

Hugs, Marion/BC

What a warm welcome

Good evening everyone it is so good to see you all responding to me I am not at my ideal weight yet but I am still working on it. With the emotional roller coaster I have been on  I am glad that I am still hanging in there it has been hard, back in april I ran away to california and guess who I met there cherie do you all remember her it was great to finally get to meet her I went in search of my self once again. I seem to do that a lot. Teresa it is so good to see you here and Karen and all the ones  I have missed I lost my dad back in August and I was such a wreck and trying to help mom through it and trying to get through it too I left the board when I needed you all the most.  The emotions were making me crazy and I didn't want to bring anyone down and instead of leaning on you all I just shut myself off in my grief and pain and it has been a long hard road but I am on my way back one baby step at a time. I just didn't realize how much I needed you all and I was so lost. It is a  brand new day and I am slowly coming back to me.It is funny how one will try to hide the pain from the people you care about like this board when it would have been such a huge help leaning on you all. for the strengh but we have all been there. I just wanted to say to all just hang in there we will reach that goal we will climb that mountain and thank you all for listening to me have a bright sunshiny day hugs sharon

Good Morning

Queen Bee Sharon- Hello nice to see you again. Glad you decided to join in. Yes, isn't that the truth seems like a number of us when going through tough times "disappear" only to reappear after we've figured out this is a support board.  Welcome back. 

  

Alice-mind went blank geeze I've been there and done that..............speaking of that I was in the store the other day and had picked up some veggies for a pot of soup......the clerk looked at me and said "what is this" ......I thought and I thought and with a confused look on my face said these words of wisdom......."I have no idea but you cut it in quarters and throw it in a pot to flavor soup then take it out"  what is it............yeap I remember just now "parsnips"..... speaking of a senior moment. 

  

Teresa-closer to countdown girlfriend. You'll do fine :-)

Don't throw your parsnips out girl.....they are so good.....at least I like them.  I cut them up in slices and throw them in the soup pot and leave them in the soup....just like you would carrots.   I also cook them in a vegetable mixture on the bar b que.  Slice up parsnips, carrots and onions and put in a foil pan.  Dot with butter and sprinkle with seasoned salt and a bit of garlic powder.  Cover with foil and cook on the bar b que for about half an hour.  Very tasty. 

  

Hugs, Marion

Hi all you beautiful mother's hope you all have a special day planned......hang on tomorrow will be mother's day for some of you.....confusing.....anyway HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY......Well I'm going out to lunch with my family and intend on enjoying my day...... 

  

  

I don't know how you all remember what happened to who I've read all the posts and now while I'm posting I can remember what happen but then I forget to whom it happened am I the only one that does this I must start making notes as I read.....getting old I think is my problem...lol 

  

Well not doing so well on the challege up and down like a yo-yo through the week I go fine then the weekend one big crash.... 

  

Kyeden has to go to the hospital today to see the doctor that operated on his eye (the first op he had ) to see what can be done....but he coming out to lunch first with nanny.... 

  

A question......has anyone heard of the lap band ????? My son is very over weight and he is out of control and knows it so he went to the doctor and he is having one of them done in surgery....when he lost his sister and then when K yeden got hurt he just went to food for comfort...it was so hard to watch and not be able to break the wall that he put up....I'm worried because I don't know a lot about it...... 

  

Well everybody I hope you all are having a great week and I'll catch up later love and hugs Sharon
