What are we eating & What's eating us-TGIF!!!

Linda has asked me to start the thread for her this morning. She sent me a pm and said that she thinks that she had a stroke.......so without question I am also asking that prayers and good thoughts go her way. It is without a doubt that our Linda has had more than her share of things and she means so much to most of us I know that we can all pull together to do what we can do to help her through this.

As for me today......it is what it is. I get sick to my stomach all the time when I eat so I decided that I am going to eat a bit of whatever since everything makes me sick anyway. I have to eat and so that is why I am going to eat my food......even if it is just a few bites.

B: piece of toast with cheese
L: not sure on this...I will probably take Bill out for lunch for his birthday today
D: a bit of sauerkraut and a bit of sausage
S: nothing

I had such a taste for sauerkraut and sausage so I just put it in the crock pot . I hope it is everything that I have it to be in my mind. We all know how good things "taste" in our minds. ha ha

Have a good day and don't forget to be easier on yourself than we have a tendency to be. We are our own worst critics and we never seem to give ourselves the breaks that we give to other people. At least I know I don't.

Sending love and hugs along with prayers for a great Friday for all.........

OMG Brenda.....I hope it wasn't a stroke. My poor dear friend Linda. My thoughts and prayers are always with her but special prayers going up right now!

I am finally back!! I had a wonderful much needed vacation away from everyone!!

B-eggs w/ peppers, onions, bacon and cheese
L-protien shake
D-steak w/ veggies

Brenda I am glad to see you are back and doing so well!!

Love and hugs sweetie....connie d

 Connie,

Good to see you back.  I'm glad your mini vacation helped.  Sometimes a little break does the body, mind and soul good.  Seeing, hearing, tasting and smelling (yes, even smells) different things helps refresh us.  I look forward to my "vacation" in July.

You are in my prayers.....  Millie

 GASP ! !   Literally...  Linda is definitely in my prayers as are you.  Please keep us informed on her.  I can't imagine the frustrations and fear she is facing.  

I certainly understand the mind deception we have about food.  Something sounds so good and we want it so badly; then, we eat it and it either doesn't taste good or it makes us sick.. lol or both.

I "had" to have a burger fries and milkshake one night.  Drove through BK and bought my favorite pre surgery meal.  Ate the burger with very little bun, fries went down well, and had the milkshake later....  OH  MY GAWD....  I was so full and sick..... the shake sky rocketed my sugar and then plunged me down to 37 ! ! !  yes, blood sugar level.... 37......  The next day I dumped and was so so so miserable...   Now, I'm back to homemade burgers.. NO bun,  NO fries.....  sigh..... It did taste good going down but NOT worth it....  No way...

Today

B   Oatmeal w/ cranberries
S   Fruit
L   Chili
S   ?
D   Chicken  Veggies

3 Popsicles throughout the day... 

Good morning all,
Brenda, Thanks for your kind words yesterday and I hope you feel better soon.
Connie,  Good to hear you sounding so upbeat.  Welcome back.
I will hold a good thought for Linda today.

Wish I could report a resounding success with my eating plan yesterday.   I intend to do better today.  Menu is similar to most days.  Keep on truckin', CV Linda

Aloha Brenda...and thank you for filling in for Linda. I am so sorry to hear that she is having big time physical problems right now. That woman is such a dear heart and so deserves to be happy and healthy.

I'll send her a gentle cyber hug and hope that she feels the love.

Aloha nui loa,

Maui Karen

Being new I haven't known Linda very long, but just in the short time it is obvious she is a very special person and respected by all.  My prayers will be with her.  Marilyn

I pop in now and then, and always  make sure to read Linda's daily post...that woman is an inspiration!  Sorry to read things seem a lot worse  than usual for her ! Fingers crossed she will be back on here soon saying it was a false alarm...

hi brenda

thanks for posting about linda.  it was so wierd, i was going to start the
thread this morning, because i was up early and saw that she had not
posted.  then time got away from me and i left for work.  i sure hope
she has not had a stroke and that whatever is ailing her can be remedied
quickly.  my thoughts are with her

as to you miss brenda, im sorry you are not feeling well still.  its time
for you to recover and move one, tell your body i said so (grin)

maybe you need to rest up more, i know how active you are, but maybe
your body just needs more down time for you to heal completely and feel
better.

hugs to you, you are in my thoughts, jacki

Hi Brenda,
Hoping your feeling better and Linda is in my prayers..
Hugs Gail
