daily support, Sept. 29

Hi there! I'm still kicking. I have had the ultrasound (and yet another painful mammogram) but still don't know the results. I was really quite unwell for almost 2 weeks, but now feel a lot better. Between my injured back, tachycardia and this cancer scare, I've been quite down. Yesterday, I suddenly felt like my old self again and worked in the yard. I got back into my back exercises again, too.
I really, really, fell off the wagon badly, and bought a half gallon of ice cream and ate it in 3 days. I guess it's true what they say about comfort foods...
Last night I made a casserole with chicken and sweet peppers in a sauce with mushrooms. It wouldn't have been too fattening if I had skinned and deboned the chicken but I didn't so it was a bit greasy. I am taking the leftovers and remaking them into a soup using chicken broth and skimmed milk.
I read through the past 5 days of support postings and want to thank all of you for your kind wishes. I am past the terrified stage, more to the resigned state.
Not resigned to cancer, but to the idea of: what will be, will be.
In one of the support threads, psilo asked if any of the diets ever worked. I think Weight Watchers is very good and works, but they have gotten too expensive. I still think the thing to do is count fat grams. If you count fat, you will also cut down on sweets as they are usually high in fat too.....
