BEST DIET EVER!!!!

I have stumbled onto the best diet ever. I was recently diagnosed with a mild form of diabetes (I am insulin intolerant) and have been put on meds to help my body not fight the insulin. I also got braces (on the same day I got my metfomin) and have since lost a ton of weight. Between the diet I started a month or 2 ago and the braces and betes medecine I am now down 21lbs!!!! I am amazed. Who knew that all I needed was dental work that A: made it hurt too bad to chew ANYTHING and B: had to brush my teeth after eating anything so is it REALLY worth it? would be the ticket to losing weight for me. I am so happy that I decided it was time to fix the stupid gap in my teeth and that coupled with the betes (thought it was going to be horrible but so far not so bad) would be just what I needed. Call me Pollyanna for seeing the good in a bad situation, I don't care, it is working.

CRAFTASTIC!

I am having a blast and a half. I have recently started a few new clubs and could not be more excited. I am in an embroidery club called Stitchen Bitches and another club called Crafty Bitches. (Any one seeing a theme here?) The Crafy B's are an anything goes kind of group. We have made calendar's reciepe holders etc. In fact we have been having so much fun (and of course are so very good) that we have decided to start selling our wares. We have planned a few open houses to sell stuff throughout the summer. We are also starting a blog to sell stuff from. I am also newly in love with embroidery. My friend Heather sent me a link to a FANTASTIC website called Sublime Stitching and they have some super cute patterns books and general how to knowledge. After our first official meeting we all managed to succefully complete a practice project. That is even after having a few "beverages". So anyway, if your life is crappy and full of too much drama get some friends together and find an excuse, sorry, Hobby to bring you together and start having fun. Good luck!

A long time coming.

"I have been bad." How many times have you said that, or heard that? I havn't been good about watching what I eat, excersizing, or anything lately. My excuse? I am busy, I have been working a lot, I'm tired. I am now a part of a fantastic support group for people like me who have tried it all before and crashed and burned or maybe were successful but then slowly it all came back. It sucks. I know I really hate dieting, I am sure there are others who feel that way too. I also know by looking at certain members of my family that this is never going to magically go away. I am going to try to A:maintain a posative attitude and B:help others try to do the same. Enjoy the journey. :)
