I need your recipes!!!!

Day six of this new diet.

You know what?

It's not that bad.

I did drool over the Cookies 'n Cream ice cream

that is currently residing in our freezer.

I nicely asked Dustin if he could move it to our

basement freezer because I'm afraid if I did it some might be missing

by the time it got there. :-)

The peanut butter jar held a strange fixation for me this morning.

I think I can have it, but I'm not sure, so I'm not going to

until I talk to her. It does have a lot of sugar in it.

Denying yourself is hard in all areas of life. And food is so big in America.

It is everywhere! I may have to stop watching commercials till the cravings pass. :-) Even if it doesn't taste good in real life, somehow they manage to make it drool worthy on the screen.

But there have been blessings.

I feel better.

Now that my cold is disappearing, I can tell I feel better.

How much better, I don't know yet.

Is it just one of my good days?

Maybe, maybe not.

I know this sounds superficial, but another is I am losing weight.

I was thinking today that this diet would be so much harder if it was causing me to put on the pounds.

At least when I have to say no to Cookies 'n Cream, I can say it's for a good reason.

Ironically, depriving myself of sweet food for weight loss seems much more worthy than hopefully shrinking a tumor.

See? So superficial am I.

But... if it is shrinking the weight, prayerfully it will soon do the same to the tumor.

But, back to the main reason I'm writing.

I could really use some recipes with Beans in them.

I've done chili, but, even that gets old.

So, if you have some, send them my way.

Thank you in advance!
