The Sweet Spot of Success

Good Morning Now that would be a recipe worth having. I am cooking for my man tonight it may have to do with sea food but i am not sure yet I could try your cioppino recipe that sure looks good to me. One month from yesterday July 20 is my band date. I'm getting ready. Have a nice day.

Good morning...I enjoyed your post. You're an inspiration. Keep up the good work.

Thanks Lucky and Delivered! That Jambalaya worked very well. In fact, I'm going to recommend doubling the recipe for a family of four. Stay tuned.

Hi Lena,

I made the Cioppino recipe for Fathers day. What a hit. I used scallops, lobster and shrimp. Very tasty thanks for the recipes. It made a ton so I took fish out and froze the leftovers.

I'm not an inspiration, BG. In fact, I've had a bit of a rough time, with a couple of months of barely losing five pounds. I've faced many issues like learning the band doesn't solve personal issues like stress eating. I'm still in the "obese" range as far as the medical community is concerned. (sigh) And I still have all those weight-related co-morbidities to solve, though some like blood sugar issues and high cholesterol have gone away. I"m learning the band is no miracle cure, but getting it has been the turning point I can look back to and say, "I made the decision and took my fate in my own hands."

Glad you liked the Cioppino, ImaLuckyDog! The jambalaya will post in a few hours.

Hey, if I say you're an inspiration, then you are!!! Especially for continuing to face the issues and work on this with the 'rough times'. The old me would have used all that as an excuse not to get back on the wagon...EVER...so you're an inspiration for the tough times we'll ALL face sooner or later as well. We'll all need to face those food demons (like stress eating) that got us here in the first place and it's helpful to me seeing you work through it. Thank you! -BG
