I took this fabulous
pie to my sister, Susan’s home, for an early Thanksgiving dinner. This pie
received rave reviews from everyone. I must say that it was amazing and so darn
good. This is a definite yes for future Thanksgiving meals.

Why Weight?
Today,
I would like to share some recent feelings that have emerged from the past.
Last week, when I went out to dinner with friends, I remembered all of the
times I had to ask for a chair without arms. It was always so embarrassing, yet
I knew that I needed to go with my friends. I also remember the pain of having
to sit uncomfortably in theatre seating, as I was too big for the seat. Of
course, I had no one to blame but myself, but the pain and embarrassment were
overwhelming at time.
The
most painful memory is one pertaining to my nieces and nephews. I must have
been an embarrassment to them at functions, yet they always hugged me and
introduced me to their friends. I am so fortunate to have been loved for who I
was and not my body shape. I am so sorry that I put them through that as kids.
This memory makes me so thankful for their strong character. They are the most
wonderful people in the world.
As
I sit here with tears streaming down my cheeks, I thank God that I am on a
positive journey now, and hope he gives me the strength and character to make
it all of the way down to my chosen weight. These painful memories help me
continue to make good choices.
Wants and Wishes
I
have never dealt with my own stress well, and I am finding out that when I
worry about others, it affects me internally. Some stresses are easily handled and
others are dependent on the actions and reactions of others. I wish I knew all
of the answers. What a drag????
