  1. As I look around these forums being started some of the most common complaints are "people won't support my decision by bringing healthy foods." Um, not their job to cook healthy for you because you made a life changing decision. Just because they bring the foods they have always brought doesn't mean they are trying to destroy what you are doing, it is just all they know. You can't blame them, be mad at them, or accuse them of being destructive to your diet. You personally HAVE to find a way to deal with this. Everywhere we go there is food. Parties, funerals, celebrations, ANYTHING, there will be unhealthy foods at all of these. It's just like this, if I have a party, I provide the food I want. In one party I could have a vegetarian show up, a gluten free person and one who is allergic to dairy. I can't prepare for all of these different kinds of people. If I have something they can eat, great. If I don't, they should have brought their own, or have eaten before they came. It is no different with our new lifestyle. This isn't to say that it doesn't suck to watch people eat fried foods, fatty foods, or chocolate cake in front of us, but just because they are doing that doesn't mean they aren't supporting us. They are living their life they way they want. We can't change others, only ourselves. Have a fantabulous, skinny day! Today is better than yesterday and together we will feel better!

    help again

    I had something similar, and I was told it was a non issue if there was no fever. But I did contact my Dr. I paid them to be on call, so I did. If it continues, I would call them for self assurance!

    need prayers.

    Dear God, Our pain here on earth is great. Please help Misty in this difficult time. Wrap your arms around her and show her love by having others reach out to her. Amen
  5. Meatball1, Cooking at home is something completely different. I do all the cooking in our home and it is now things I can eat also. My family doesn't mind the healthier kind of cooking. I just don't expect others to change their cooking style for me. That make sense?

    Chest hurts when I eat

    Bites no bigger than a pencil eraser and chew, chew, chew. I know it is soft food, but if those don't work, you need to call your Dr. ASAP. Best of luck!
