Get ready to throw sh*t at me. I'm used to it.

I get where she's coming from. I'm from the south. Texas to be more pointed. I was raised in a kitchen cooking and baking. My family grows their own crops, hunts for meat and cooks HUGE meals. It is where we all get together. I knew how to make banana, chocolate chip, walnut bread when I was 10. After my husband's enlistment, we'll be going back to Texas. To the fried catfish and huspuppies Friday nights with the family and the Sunday roast, creamed potatoes and carrots with brown gravy for about 50. Don't forget Saturday's breakfast of home made biscuits, sausage gravy, ham, grits, scrambled eggs, hash browns, pigs in blankets and more for the same 50. Now, seeing as I'm my Grandmother's granddaughter and I learned it all from the best, when I go home I am enlisted to the kitchen and that's where I spend my weeks vacation when I go back now. I enjoy it! I embrace it! I love it! When we get done with this enlistment, I will be the one whose home everyone converges on many, many times a week because that is who I am. Having said all of that, I will get this surgery. I will not fail in my weight loss AND maintenance. I will comfort those I love with the food they love while making my own meals as I do now. I will support them in their journey to embrace and love life. If they decide to take the step I have, then I will support that. I will do what I can to help them.
As for Carnie, maybe she just got tired of being the strong one and decided she just wanted to be the happy one. I say good luck to her for that. Everyone deserves to be happy. Why not her too?

Sounds like my family! I love to cook for people. i love to see them enjoying it and the getting together. I just dont eat all of it anymore and make sure there is something I can eat. Baking doesnt have to be all bad.........

Exactly! I enjoy the process of baking. The feeding of other people. I really don't enjoy so much the eating myself now that I know what it does to me personally.

She explains that if she were not BAKING, she would be DRINKING. WTF, thats her excuse, sorry shes trash nothing less nothing more, shes got two beautiful children and thats the comment she makes. Whatever. I don't buy into the myriad of excuses people use for every little thing, I know exactly why I was fat and it wasn't grammas fault because she baked me cookies. When on earth are people gonna grow up and stop bull****ting themselves and everyone around them. Ugghhhhh.
