What we are eating,and what's eating us. Thursday.

I am not miserable and if you look over the history of this board, you will see that I have not been shoving my beliefs down your throats as you guys have.  I post so sporadically that to even consider me a regular is hard pressed.  Why can I not voice my own beliefs, challenge yours when you guys are the ones putting it out there for me to comment on. Why would I not accpet the challenge of being told that someone doesn't care if I like it or not.  I didn't say you evil person how could you post this awful lie and perpetuate the lies that have been handed down to us since the middle ages when the religious men wanted more men and women to enslave and did so through the use of the so called bible that they had interpretted.  No, I simply responded with rationale and reasonable reasons for helping her niece. Not, I'll pray for her, which we all know doesn't work for removing fat.  Does it?  Did you pray to get thin?  Has all the others here prayed to get thin?  When that failed, what did they do?  Did they lose faith and have wls?  Yes.  that is exactly what they did.  I am only a reminded of the fragility of your faith so don't tell me I'm miserable.  I am happy, have a loving family and wonderful grands and a good husband and many friends and have money to spend on whatever I want and my house is warm and I go and come as I please, so don't think I am this shrew who lives to make others miserable.  I try to enlighten people of what it is that they are saying and how can they fix something.  If her niece is fat, and it sounds like she is, don't pray for her, get her enrolled in a gym.  If you are really concerned for her, send her money to get her in a gym or on a weightloss program or help pay for her surgery.  Put your money where your mouth is cauase we know that prayer doesn't work for fat people or sick people or even poor people.  does it?

Jeannie, I for one only pray for God's will not mine to be done. Just because Linda's niece is overweight does not mean it is God's will since He gives us all the freedom of will. It is obvious that she is eating out of her own will but she is a child and that is what she knows at this point. I am praying that God make known His will for this dear innocent child and to her family. I pray only for God's will to be made known to any and all. Others may pray differently but this is how I pray since I am of the belief that God's will not mine be done.

I may have lashed out in anger when I called you miserable and for that I am sorry. I can hope that you accept the apology but it is your choice. I really feel that we all need to join together, whatever our beliefs are or are not. We are here on this earth to be of help to one another and not to be at each others throats.

As for did God help me to become thin........yes, I do believe that He did. But that is my own thoughts.....take them or leave them. I know that it was my God that brought me to this wls and when it was right for me. I once said that I wish that I had it sooner but then was told that I was brought to it when the time was right and I firmly believe that to be true. But then again this all my own thoughts and take what you like and leave the rest......like we all have to do on this board and in our lives.

Thanks for the conversation.....

I am not shoving my belief down your throat and if you read my post, you will see that I did offer reasonable advice on how to help her neice.  I don't know why you, of all people, feel so compelled to lash out at me every single time I post.  I have been a member of good standing on the board for years and am friends with many on this board who post as sporadic as I, yet, when I come in for a landing, you and a couple of others feel that you have the right to jump down my throat over, of all things, my language or my belief.  I tell you this, don't read or respond to my posts.  I don 't really like you as you are so whiney and you try to provoke people to bicker.  Just please, ignore me. 

It is strange to me that you thought my message directed to you...
I have never spoken with you. This was directed to someone who I have spoken with.
I feel so sorry for you.
I am going to pray for you....smile.

Brenda,so you know that when you block someone,ALL of their posts disappear.
You never see anything from them again.....
Feels better in here already. We have many good people here who are not Christains,I myself am far from a good Christian in a traditional sense.
I hope you are doing well,and maybe you can use the block button,only if you want.
Thank you for your prayers Brenda. They are so appreciated.

??? You have never PM'ed me about religion,so I am not sure what you mean.
Please hold my niece in your positive thoughts if you can.
Thank you

I only scanned your posts as they seem to be negative,I respect all people,I do not care what you believe or not.
I would put you on ignore if I could and I am going to soon.
I am sorry you are unhappy. I believe in many things, I do not believe in you.

We do not fight here,and if I offended ANYONE I am sorry,it was not my intention.
When you said you were misunderstood,I told you I was sorry to hear that. That was 2 days ago,we have never conversed in anyway other than that.
I hope you get enough labels to make you happy.
Do not bother to respond,as I am blocking you as soon as I finish this message.
Blessed be...

Good morning to you, our sweet and loving Linda. I will most certainly keep your dear niece in my prayers. For without prayer we are worth nothing. It is the prayers and the belief that there is a Higher Power who we choose to call God that keep us going from day to day or sometimes moment to moment. I will continue to keep her in prayers and I know that something is going to happen for we call for that in the name of our most loving and graceful God!

I have a appointment with Dr. Stanish in a few hours and I am so looking forward to it. I am hoping that I am going to get rid of some of these drains. I am so sick of them. I hope he does something with the navel too.....it feels like it is constantly pulling. I just really want all of this behind me and on to better things.

Food for today is kind of up in the air. I think I got it figured out so here goes what I have figured out so far. I am beginning to hate doing this and besides I have to go to the store.....I think that is the worst part of doing my menu. Most of the time it is good and stays good but I have to admit that I am not perfect and sometimes the choices are not always good. I know that everyone understands.

B: low carb slim fast with milk (to thin it out)
L: frozen meal of something or other
D: thin sliced pork chop with balsamic vinaigrette glaze and steamed veggies
S: probably nothing

I made the last pork chops with a glaze like that and Bill just loved it, so I am hoping I can remember how I did it. ha ha  Heck I never write anything down and most of the time I never remember anything either. Not good for future meals......oh well.

Have a wonderful day and know that I am sending love and hugs to you and prayers are going up for you and yours all the time. Have a wonderful day and make smile do some spreading of happiness....it will most certainly bring happiness to you, our dear one! Keep your chin up and know that God is at work at all the moments of our days. And that includes for you and yours too.

My dearest Brenda,none of us is perfect. You are a good sweet person. You know,if planning your menu is getting to you,remember it is not written in stone. I have been posting my food after I eat it,as the Fangster was kicking my butt,and I felt badly about not following my menu.
You sound like you cook like me.....smile. We call it "vibration cooking",just go in the kitchen and do what seems good at the time. This is a real problem when someone asks you for a recipe..LOL.
I hope everything goes well at the doctors.please let me know.
I am sending love back to you. Thank you for your prayers.
Big Hug!!
