Hi, this is Tucson Kitty.

When I married , 2000, I moved to a small town in northern Mn and called the

local churches and found a ladies gruop that sounded good, they sewed quilt

strips and make them into quilts for charities. i felt awkward, but went, made

some friends. And I did the same thing when i moved to AZ. Now I belong to a

book group, a quilting group at church, a Bible study group, and I volunteer at

a homeless shelter 3 times a wk for 3 hrs and feed the people. I think that's

what Bruce was trying to get at in his email-post. We can meet people in some

new ways and make friends and it helps us a lot, I take my mind off myself and

this damned diabetes for awhile. Today i went to the library and looked at

another book group, to fill some more time and meet more people.

I want a piece of German chocolate cake so badly I could scream! And so i am

going to make a pot of coffee instead, add some coconut flavoring, a dash of

heshey's choc syrup and some fat free whipped cream. If there is anything not

good in this, tough. better than eating that cake that is frozen in my freezer,

haha.

Stay with this group, we're a rag-tag bunch of fols, we all mean well, and tell

us about some of the books you are reading. I would love to swap book titles

with you.

Tucson Kitty, who has another date on Saturday eve, to have early dinner and

then go to church! See, if you sign off, you'll never know if I get married

again! Haha!

Bruce/apology

Ok folks, I've been thinking and have realized that I need to post this. I

posted that email really fast and wasn't thinking when I did. I was hurt and

angry. I want to publicly apologize to Bruce and the rest of you for posting a

private email. I was wrong for doing that. Chalk it up to stress if you like,

but still, it was wrong and I'm sorry Bruce. It will never happen again, I can

promise you that!

Now can we start over? Pretty please?

If this post goes through, then my unsubscribe didn't go through.

And Bruce, I'm truly sincerely sorry to have upset you and I excepted your

apology in private email.

Thank you!

PS: We all need a hug, so hugs!

I agree, it is a lifelong change for us all. Take it a step at a time. And for

anyone who can't get out to walk, go to the library and take out an execise

video with a walking theme. I love it, on days I can't get out because it's too

cold, haha, in Tucson, or too rainy, haha, or I just don't want to go outside

and walk, I walk with the video.

And read, test, learn what works for you. You don't need to invest in books, if

you can't afford it, go to the library. You don't need to join a gym if you

can't afford it, rent a video on exercise. You don't need to buy expensive

food, I actually spend LESS now, as I don't buy junk food.

It gets to be fun to get on the scale and see it keep going down. If you only

lose 1/2 lb a wk, so what? At the end of the month, you'll be 2 lbs less. And

2 lbs times 12 months equals 24 lbs less! Go for it!

And as for eating habits being learned while growing up, well, I think we are

all adults here. Just because no one told ud not to smoke as kids doesn't mean

we haven't learned as adults that it is a bad idea. Same with eating. If we

teach our kids at home to eat well or don't teach them, as adults it is our own

responsiblity to learn what is healthy. We all know that we should eat healthy

and exercise and not smoke, and get enough sleep, but we are human and we are

also lazy sometimes or we have stress like a husband with 2 major surgeries and

a terminal diagnosisi of cancer. we all have problems. I over ate and ate the

wrong foods when was ill because of stress, loneliness, anger over him

having cancer. Cancer kills many people because it is caught too late and no

matter what they do, it's too late.

Diabetes is different. We all have a chance to change habits and make

improvements in our lives.

Sorry, but after watching my husband have 3 yrs of cancer and die, I'll take

diabetes, hands down.

And we can be supportive of everyone here because we all care about each other.

We know how scary it is at first. OK, It's also scary afterwards, haha. But

it's a fight we have some chance of winning.

Let's all pull together here, we are a neat group, lots of differing opinions,

which makes it interesting.

Tucson Kitty, where we have a 30% chance of rain tomorrow! YAY! No rain since

last November, at least. And it is cloudy! YAY!
