Just Stressin................

Hello Team BFC Listeners,

  • On the job front: The bank that sent me that email about a position open, emailed me back and informed me that I did not qualify for the position... I got so mad - WHY DID THEY EMAIL ME IN THE FIRST PLACE?? They already had my info from before. Whatever--------
  • Remember I said my son was here? Problems, problems, problems. I am under a tremendous amount of stress because of his behavior. He is 28 and needs to get his sh-t together. What is that saying? The parents bear the sins of their children? or something like that. Well that feels like me.
  • I get so stressed yesterday, I even had a snack between lunch and dinner. I really didn't want it but I was so upset I had to do something. I had some cheese and walnuts. That sounds so funny to say it that way huh?
  • So I was gonna go visit Maria this weekend, (my step-mom), but I decided to wait until later on in the week instead. I have been very worried about her since the death of Dad. She is lonely and depressed, I know - even though she does not tell me all the time. I try to call her 2-3 times a week. I told her when I come over we can go to the movies - out to eat - and visit my dad (bring flowers). 
A few days ago my son asked me what this stuff was? I told him -You know the flavored stevia drops for your coffee? He said can I put this in water? I was like - I don't know - try it. To my surprise ...It was actually good in water. You should try it.......... The flavor I had was - toffee.







  • What I ate yesterday
  • breakfast; 2 slices of Oasis bread, w/butter then some avocado smashed on top, then some shredded cheese and 1 fried egg on top, with 2 turkey bacon, and 8 blackberries. I have to say that it was GOOOOD!
  • lunch; orowheat sandwich thin - wheat, w/pepper jack cheese, a turkey patty, and natures hollow sugar free catsup and mustard and some veggie chips.
  • snack; cheese and walnuts.
  • dinner; buffallo wings and sauted spinach and kimchee (spicy fermented cabbage) then 2 squares of 85% dark chocolate and redi whip.
  • On Easter, I decided I am going to mom-in-laws house and go to church with her. (even though I am Jewish). I thought it would be nice to hang out with her since hubby has to work. She is lonely too. I have a cute dress that I bought 1 time that I went to Kohls.
Well my headache is finally going away now from this morning. I didn't sleep well and woke up with a doozey.

I hope everyone has a great weekend. I do have a lead for a job today - I am not gonna give up that easy.

This is PurpleRosy signing off.....

My thought for the day:

NO matters what comes your way - just know that you are not alone. Hugs and Kisses to all...

Keep on BFC ' n  :-)

  4. Still think you should be in the field of weight loss like Sherri is thinking of. She's getting involved in Weight Watchers. Try your local YMCA and get a BFC class going. You can start a class of about 20 ladies/gents. Find a meeting room, and start the BFC with them. Take like 5.00 bucks per class 3x's a week. Then start another one. Good Luck.

  9. I seriously like Kasey's idea. I hate hearing that everything is stressful and sucks. I hope your son gets his stuff together and stops looking to you when he needs to be bailed out.

Some tips if you are having trouble

  • First make sure that you are staying under the 15/6. 15 sugars and 6 servings of carbs for the whole day. Thats no more than 5 sugars and 2 servings of carbs per meal.
  • Track all of your sugar/carbs. Add everything from your meal together and count them that way.
  • Try to stop eating whole grain carbs after 3pm.
  • Make sure you drink lots of water.
  • Count everything that you put into your mouth. Even sauces - everything , check labels.
  • Make sure that you don't eat any artificial sugars. Check labels, if it says sugar free - look in the ingredients, look for....sucralose, aspartame, saccharine in the ingredients. Those are BAD!
  • Going #2 is a big problem when a lot of people start the BFC. I have solved that problem with Clear Benefiber in my morning coffee and a scoop of Super Seed w/water in the afternoon. (you can buy the super seed on Amazon.com it is the cheapest).
  • Choose your carbs wisely. Try to pick the carbs that will give you the lowest count of carbs, sugar and calories and the most fiber.

I hope this helps.
