Re: Warning - whiney rant from down place in my IE journey... GF baking...

[Guest guest]

Hmmm. There's a thought. Once I get this a little more under my belt, I might

post something locally and see if I can drum up an IE group of some sort.

Nothing formal but a breakfast every so often might be good. Fortunately (or

not) I'm old enough and iconoclast enough I don't need a lot of social support

for this, but an IE breakfast is an intriguing idea...

Right now, I'm trying to figure out how much EXternal input is too much. I too

feel the need to go solo a bit - and yet am fearful that going solo will mean

going back to where I was before I got started with IE - awash in my diet rebel,

diet police stuff. It's a balancing act... Sandarah
