    I don't include names that didn't weigh-in to save space or the list would be MUCH longer. Sorry to upset you, CZ.:flowerforyou:

    :laugh: That's the hard part, actually doing the challenges. :wink: I'm going to try to re-post the challenge each night when I plan my meals for the following day to help us ALL remember. I forget a lot too:ohwell:
    (don't want to start a whole new post):ohwell:
    So I'm doing pretty good on my no added/artificial sugar challenge. I modified it a little because I noticed cetain things (like my lunchmeat:grumble: ) had sugar listed as the 3rd/4th ingredient but only had 1 or 2g sugar per serving because there just aren't that many ingredients. I've fallen in love with Hormel Natural Lunch meat. It's still pretty high in sodium (500mg/serving) BUT I can read the ingredients without getting a headache:bigsmile:

    My husband and I are setting up a fund to start a college fund for my grandson, His daddy, my son would have wanted that instead of flowers etc. Everyone has said anything I can do! so here it is, if any of you, My MFP family wish to "do something" please consider a donation to this fund. Growing up without his Daddy will be hard enough so we are hoping to establish the seeds anyway for a college fund for our grandson.

    Thanks to all of you for your kind words of support, getting through this is really rough. Those of you who know my email address could just paypal a donation if you want to. If you want my email address, just PM me and I will send it to you. there is certainly no obligation but I know you all will ask, that is why I was drawn to this group. I love you all, Brandi

    Just For Today
    Just for today, I will try to live through the next 24 hours...not expecting to get over my child's death, but learning to live with it...one day at a time
    Just for today, I'll remember my child's life, not his death, and bask in the comfort of the treasured days and moments we shared.

    Just for today, I will forgive all the family and friends who didn't help or comfort me the way I needed them to. They truly did not know how.

    Just for today, I will reach out to comfort a relative or friend of my child. For they are hurting too, and perhaps we can help each other.

    Just for today, I will free myself from my self-inflicted burden of guilt. For deep in my heart, I know if there was anything in this world I could have done to save my child from death, I would have done it.

    Just for today, I will honor my child's memory by doing something with another child, be it my own, or someone else's, because I know that would make my child proud.

    Just for today, I will offer my hand in friendship to other bereaved parents, fo I DO know how they feel.

    Just for today, I will smile...no matter how much I hurt on the inside...for maybe if I smile a little, my heart will soften and I will begin to heal.

    Just for today, I will allow myself to be happy and enjoy myself, for I know I am not deserting my child by moving on.

    Just for today, I will accept that I did NOT die when my child did. My life did go on and I am the ONLY one who can make that life worthwhile again.

    All I can say is it's about time! I increased calories about 2 weeks ago and have been working hard and focusing but it gets so frustrating sometimes! My salvation was trying on the smaller pants and them fitting even though I hadn't lost pounds I'd lost inches and that's ok too!

    I'm hoping this giving up sweets thing will help. They are my weakness.
