But, mark

don't beat yourself up for not loosing more, but pat yourself on the back

for loosing! It seems you are not only beting yourself up for not loosing

more, but compounding the problem by eating something you knew you should

not have eaten. That seems not to have made you feel better either. Now,

if you had eaten that half a piece of pie to reward yourself, that would

have ben a better attitude! I just encourage you to keep at it, man! After

all, 10 pounds is much better than no pounds!

Re: Crystal

well I understand this attitude. I only lost ten pounds in seven weeks to

day while seeing the saw bones. I went out to eat lunch after the

appointment and ate half of a piece of pie that I knew I wasn't suppose to

have. I was upset cause I didn't loose more weight.

,

We will see the doctor tomorrow morning and I will get the info.

One of the questions we have is the possibility of being anemic. With

all of the test they ran the other day surly they check for this.

Crystal gets awfully tired and we have eliminated almost every other

possibility.

Well what I want is something with lots of caffeine and in July and August

and even September, cold!

It need not be sweet at all. I mean sweet tasting.

Rita,

You are a good girl!

I think the essence of the Serenity Prayer is having the wisdom to know

what you can change and what you can't.

Actually, I did not go through a drug treatment program to get rid of

the Alcohol Addiction.

I was a true alcoholic for about twenty or so years. Could not get out

of bed a lot of mornings without a good stiff drink of Vodka.

Now, let's see if there are not some parallels here.

I maintained that I did not have a drinking problem because I always

made it to work. Some folks maintain they do not have a real sugar

problem because they feel " Okay " .

I maintained that I could quit drinking any time I wanted to. Some folks

say they can follow the diet and that their sugar is under complete

control.

We all have our denial problems. You know, some folks are just as hooked

on video games as I was on booze.

Now, the way I kicked the habit was my wife asked some Missionaries to

give me a blessing that I would be able to stop drinking alcohol and not

be dependant on it.

It was the single most amazing event in my entire life.

After the Missionaries left I went to the kitchen to finish the wine I

had started before they came over.

I picked up the glass, put it to my lips, sniffed it and - I swear to

God, had absolutely no desire at all to drink it. In fact, it had a

rather foul smell and tasted real sour. I poured it out and got another

glass, same thing.

I poured that glass out as well and did not touch another drop of booze

for a long, long time. I also had no negative withdrawal problems or any

desire to have a drink. Absolutely amazing!

Rita, Rita.

Sun Tea is tea made by placing the tea bags in a gallon jar and letting

the Sun do the steeping.

Wal-Mart also sells a Sun Tea jar. It has a push spout on the bottom.

(Yes, you also put water in the jar)

Set the jar with tea bags and water in the sun for several hours and you

have some very good tea to drink.
