Family Reunion

Post by Joyful Friend »

It was great family gathering at a local park.  Even as hot as it was, a breeze came through the shelter house.  Luscious hamburgers and hotdogs were grilled with all the trimmings.  Each family brought covered dishes.  I fixed plenty of LDL foods.(Fresh corn, sugar snap peas, Lima beans, old fashioned fruit salad)  I even had a big watermelon iced down if we needed it.  Country Girl and a niece fixed some.  My plate was loaded down with goodness.  My salad bowl contained blck bean salad.  My nephew said,  "Aunt W, I think you over did it."  Before I could answer, my DH said, "She eats like this every day, and then she has two snacks." LOL.  I am so thankful for God's bountiful WOE.  "Skinny feels better than any food tastes." Thanks again, Roger' for this WOE.  My scale told me it worked, and I felt wonderful.  No additives to make me feel badly.  :D :D JF

Ollie, thanks.  I have heard of many who are doing it with success.  That makes me so happy.  I have my DH's sister and her daughter here all week.  They said I am the smallest they have ever seen me.  His niece is reading the book right now.  I still eat a lot of food, but LDL.  I had baked steak for dinner.  I fixed mine without flour, but in with the other.  I dumped two cans of mushrooms and onion over mine.  I put two cans and onions mixed in the gravy over the rest.  Mine was delicious. I stopped and got fresh corn.  It was the best of the season.  I fixed them a baked potato. Melon for dessert. They were offered cookies, but preferred melon.  I think I may have two new converts.  :thumbsup: JF

Good for you, JF  :thumbsup:

I have 2 bring-a-dishes this weekend (Sat & Sun).  Sat. I'm taking a Mandarin Salad (Romaine lettuce, sugar-free mandarin oranges drained, red onions, almonds (can be picked out for LDL) and and oil-vinegar-Splenda dressing.  Sunday I'm making my Confetti Salad (1# bag frozen mixed veggies thawed, chopped sweet onion, chopped celery, chopped red pepper and Walden Farms Sugar-free, carb-free, fat-free Ranch dressing).  I'll try to watch the rest of what I eat.

Hi, Karen.  I just found the sugar-free oranges at either Meijers (it's a Michigan, Ohio store) or it may have been WalMart.  It is Del Monte No Sugar Added.  It has Sorbitol (sugar alcohol), Acesulfame Potassium, and Sucralose (Splenda).  I don't use them often, just for this salad since it's easy to make and take and good.

Hi, JF.  I have been here a bit.  A little reading, but not much posting.  Still sticking to LDL.  I do feel better on LDL than when I stray.  I'll try to be here more often. :)
