Just wanted to share!

My friend emailed this to me this morning....it made me teary because it felt so good, and somehow validating....
Hey Kay,
 
You look terrific, and you look like you FEEL terrific!
Congratuations on your hard work...
 
What exactly have you been doing?  Are you on a special diet of some kind?
I would like to do something, and whatever you are doing seems to be working!!!

Lifetime friends:)
I sent her back the info on the BFC.
Sharon is the one with blonde hair in the middle. We met the first day of 6th grade. She is a breast cancer survivor and a special ed teacher. She is an amazing women and I am honored that she would ask me! Her daughter, who is a thyroid cancer survivor, is getting married the first week of August. Her husband has a pacemaker and he is 57. Do you think their family has had their share of medical issues? Survivor...that's what she is!!! She is also the closest to my friend Pam that also asked me about the BFC. They could share the journey together!
The scale is up a bit, but I'm not worried or concerned. When I was at my low, so was my life! I am maintaining and I am not even TOTALLY STRESSED OUT!!! Yet! I even invited my mother to Christmas breakfast and she is coming. Unbelievable really. AND my daughter has been home for almost 24 hours and we haven't had a major blow up, even with the list of boundaries that she was given.
OK, here's some thoughts that I put on Rosalie's page. Make the PB cookies from Dawn's website and put the Malitol based PB cup in the middle...yum...and even though it is the "bad" sugar mix, my daughter did not even notice a difference in the no bake cookies. She wondered why I could eat them, but didn't really press for an answer. Woot! As soon as my husband is done watching his FAVORITE basketball team, Gonzaga University,  we are going shopping and to dinner. Kind of crazy to go out on a weekend isn't it? Maybe we should just go to dinner and wait until Monday for shopping? Hmmm....I may be talking myself out of getting stuff done as I sit here!
I am so proud of all of us and I count every one of you as a huge BLESSING in my life. What a great group we are:)
Blessings and happy scales!

  1. That is such a great feeling when someone says something nice about us when we are working so hard. I hope she follows thru so you can help her. Have a great weekend. :-)

  2. How awesome Kay, I am so happy that your friends have noticed and asked you what you are doing. A lot of my family and friends are not too interested in hearing about the bfc, they love their sugar. You look so good, I bet you feel a ton better this holiday season. You are such a blessing to me, have a wonderful weekend :)

  3. Urgh, my kindle's not updating my blogs. I didn't see you posted yesterday!

    That is so great about your friends! You have made such a difference in yourself, and now you get to pay it forward. :) yay!

    I hope that your house continues to be peaceful.

    Your cookie idea sounds fabulous! Malitol is technically ok on BFC, isn't it? It just gives some people tummy trouble? anyhow, hope you stay unstressed and have a great Sunday!

  4. Well, girlfriend, I think I know what you would say after looking at my journal over the last few days. Right? Lotta lotta fat in my diet. I gotta think that it counts for what's going on. I read on these primal websites that fat is actually good for you, but it doesn't seem to be helping my waistline, does it? I am frustrated about needing to count calories too. I don't wanna, mama! :) OK, I'll stop whining. What do you have to say? LOL
