Guest guest Posted October 28, 2000 Report Share Posted October 28, 2000 Thanks ! I hope to achieve SOMETHING in life! LMK how the cheesecake comes out! Dawn Dawn That's so cool on the baking thing!!! I hope it works out for you. I had a dream the other night that everything sweetened was being made with Splenda from ice cream to chocolate bars...and it was all fat-free and high in protein. LOL...have I been obsessing? I'm going to try to make a cheesecake with Splenda ( & low-fat cream cheese) and if it turns out well I'm going to make one for Jody's office Thanksgiving party as all the women he works with are " diet-conscious " as Jody says! Good luck to ya! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 28, 2000 Report Share Posted October 28, 2000 Dawn...you have achieved SO MUCH dear!!! You've lost a ton of weight---there's a major achievement---but even more, you've given of yourself endlessly to this group...and although it may not show up on a resume---being a loving, supportive friend is one of the greatest achievments in life.

Guest guest Posted November 22, 2000 Report Share Posted November 22, 2000 Thanks for the great words Dawn. It feels great to have my self confidence back. Even though I know I lost weight on my own but I know that if it was not for the surgery it would have came right back . Lea Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted February 18, 2003 Report Share Posted February 18, 2003 Dawn, I'm sorry to hear you are going through such a rough time. It will be a big change. I think Brett is lucky to have you. while you will never replace his mom, I know you have a good heart and will be there for him. It's ok to have a day now and then where you aren't focused. It will happen. Just as long as one doesn't turn into two and then 3..... That is why it is important to work on habits and lifestyle. Things you can do for a lifetime, no matter what curves life has thrown you. Just do what you can. We will be here for you anytime you need to vent.
