So tonight I went and enjoy myself. I got to talk some about my friend who was like a dad died and about my real dad. It was helpful.

    Hey All

He said he wants to see a ct scan of my pancreas and the last  ct scan done in June to check out. So I got a ct scan schedule on tuesday. He says we went 6 years with no cancer so we are looking for more time ...

    As suspected, I did experience a gain but this time I caught it early.  Over the past decade I have been losing & gaining & losing & gaining (I could go on & on but I am quite sure that you get the picture)
    Anyway usually I do very well with my diets which increases my self confidence & makes me happy & that tends to somehow bring me back to my old eating habits which ...

    Hey All

Late Friday I was calling a friend and I got a feeling to call another I haven't talk to and she hadn't came to group for awhile so I call her and we talk for a long time. I can't say what we talk about but I can say God lead me to talk to her and help her and I did. Mom came up on Monday and she had a book about fasting so on Tuesday night after...

    Too many people put off something that brings them joy just because they haven't thought about it, don't have it on their schedule, didn't know it was coming or are too rigid to depart from their routine.

    I finally talked with my youngest this morning when I called to wish them a Happy Thanksgiving.  I talked to both of my boys, my ex's mother and grandmother.  I was also trying to be nice and was going to wish my ex a Happy Thanksgiving.  I guess that was a bad idea.  She was taking a shower, her mom knocked on the door and was like Rob called to wish everyone a Happy Than...
