I first want to apologize for being absent…. again.  Things just went from bad to worse and at this time things won’t get much better for another month…but, I’m not giving up on losing this weight…just had other major issues come up that have to be taken care of first.

I so appreciate all the booster notes and messages from all my Buddies.  You are all so very sweet and patient with me and I hope all is going well for each and everyone of you.

One of the bad things that have happened is I have gained back 11 of the 41 lbs I lost.  I just want to cry sometimes, but it hasn’t came to that yet. With all the stuff going on in my life at this time, I don’t have time to cry…

A few other things have happened along the way and it just took some time to get through those things and there are a few more things I have to get out of the way before I can continue on my weight loss journey.

 I haven’t forgotten you, just been dealing with the problems on hand…so I hope ya’ll will be patient with me a little while longer.

 Love and hugs to all…Belinda 

To all my buddyslim friends…I am back.  It’s been a longggg few weeks and yep, I gained a little back but nothing I can’t get rid of.  I only gained 3.5 lbs even after all the cake and other things that found their way into my mouth…lol. 

The wedding was beautiful and went off without a hitch.  My daughter did all the planning and most of the decor.  It was done in Aqua blue and cream color…It was gorgeous!!

 I did two practice wedding cakes and of course without thinking I taste tested, licked the spoon and other little no-no samplings.  I had trouble getting the fondant icing on and after making several attempts, my daughter had to buy some more fondant…this time it went on almost perfect…but upon transporting the cake to the destination, it sort of slid out of place and the groom’s cake split in two…oh my!!…but, I was able to repair both before the reception took place…whew!!!

I thought for sure I would have gained more than I did and I guess it helped to keep it off because I also had been helping my son extend his front porch which took us a couple of days working almost all day long….and by the way, the porch turn out just the way my son wanted…lol.

Anyway, I won’t be able to get back to basically eating healthy until around the 9th of this month when we get a little more money for the house hold (I’m sure you all know how the money crunch thing goes…lol)…but I’m trying to be careful of what I eat most of the time.  Though it’s not what I would normally have on my diet…people gotta eat, right?…lol.

I’m still a little in a down mood but I’m not giving up on losing this weight.  I’ve come too far to throw in the towel and give up…

Thanks to all for bearing with me during my absence…I hope all are doing well and keeping up your good work.

We can do this!…we will do this!…I will succeed!…You will succeed!…”We Will Succeed”!!!!!!!…

PS.  I’m behind in my responses to those who have written messages and given booster notes, so I’ll try to catch up in the next day or two…
