LOL!!! 

You both are too cute!! 🥰😂 

Wifey, after Emmylou saw this, she wanted cookies. Papa and Nani may have started something. 😁 

Awesome picture! You look great!💜 

Aww, thank you Diana. 🩷 That's kind of you to say.  

Becca, i knew sugar was bad for cancer cells but carbs are also? 

Hi Year. I also have fibromyalgia and this is my second time around with breast cancer, so I am doing a clean diet, especially certain foods that are high in carbs so that my immune system can get back to a healthy state and do it's job in clearing out the junk. I have been gathering information on how low carb diets help with battling cancer. The removal of sugar is a given, as you mentioned. Of course, everyone is different and has to decide on what works for them. 🩷 

Lol 😂 Funny! 

Becca, thank you for info. Positive thoughts on healing from cancer and dealing with fibro. Mom had that and it was pretty painful. She lived most of her life on sugar and fat (tho she was thin) so wondering if she may have been able to give herself some relief if she would have changed her woe. But she was resistant. You look so cute in your pix!! 

Oh, Year, I'm so sorry to hear your mother suffered from that. My mother had rheumatoid arthritis and did not take medication, went with alternatives, mostly supplements. That's where I got my way of dealing with illness. I have not been very committed to self care, obviously, but I do know that for me, conventional medicine doesn't always help or solve my health problems. Our diet is just one aspect of healing, but it's a big component. Thank you for sharing about your mother. We can all certainly learn for seeing our loved ones struggles. 🩷 

Feel so much better, Becca! 

Hey Becca and Joe! Sending lots of love your way! 

Jen, 🩷. Come on over, Joe made chicken taquitos!  

Ooo! Hi 👋 haven’t been on the site for a long long time and I’m excited to follow your journey!! 

I just posted a low FOD map sheet on my page, I think you might find it helpful for carbs? 

Oh, Kay, I was gone for a while too. Nothing like a health slap to get your attention. It does my heart good to see you doing well. 🩷🥰💪 

Becca, I feel bad I commented on your beautiful picture and not about the health stuff. I'm sorry you are going through so much. Do you find your WOE helps a lot? For me eating a cleaner, non processed, lower carb diet helps me tremendously. I slip up now and then but I try. Hoping all works out for you!💜 

Diana, no need to feel bad. 🩷 Thank you for taking the time to comment. I really am doing fine with everything. Of course some of it is new territory, but it does seems easier this time around, probably because my kids are all grown up and I can focus on myself now. Joe is really on board with eating healthy, which always makes things easier. I really should have been eating like this a couple of decades ago, but I am not going to beat myself up over that, simply do better now and move forward. I just found a doctor that practices integrative medicine, so I am going to set up a consultation appointment and see how that turns out. 🙏 

Kay, thank you. I will check it out. 🩷 

You two are a beautiful couple!!!
