Good stuff Aussie and Lofty! Congrats to you both, keep it up...you're STRONG!
Sorry about your friend, PBC. Sad and scary.
I'm in a funk but it might be cuz I'm trying to largely cut out sugar and I'm eating low carb. It feels kind of like quitting smoking. Crabby, down, etc. Geez, I feel like I'm always quitting stuff. I've been crying lately, thinking of my kids growing up and moving out. I only have this one year with my oldest before he goes to college. It just breaks. my. heart. He's such a big part of this household and my life. All my energy has gone into these kids for 17 years, especially being a stay at home mom. I'm with them SO much. Plus, he doesn't go out a lot with friends, etc. so he's home a lot. He's not the type to go to his room, he sits with us, always talking. lol Anyway, I know I should think of the positive but sometimes it just hits me. This sugar thing today isn't helping. Blahhhh, that's my rant.
