oh yea! would love to see some healthy recipes later on from what you've learned through this tough season! I could definitely use some more of those as I age. Thank you for sharing so vulnerably and so proud of you getting through it and seeing you on this side of it! big hugs!!!

Yay YOU, for getting thru that! I had gestational diabetes with my 3rd child (a daughter) at 36. I was shocked as well. I had quit many things already (cigarettes, etc...) and now God wanted me to give up my CHOCOLATE TOO???!!! I hated life at that moment, but, apparently, we can do anything if it's for the kids. So eventually, I grew to like my non-sweet, real food. Oatmeal without sugar or fruit or even milk! Boy, did I enjoy that 1st cup of coffee with cream and sugar in the hospital after delivering a healthy baby! When they asked me if I wanted that, I couldn't believe it, and when they said yes, the doctor had given the ok, i was ecstatic! I can still remember how good it tasted and how much i enjoyed it. I'm now 4 mo away from being 69, have fatty liver, diverticulosis, and high bp. Back to the special diets I have gone... I'm now low-sodium, low-fat, gluten-free and struggling with learning how to cook for myself. I STILL watch your Ahi poke salad video, cuz that is the BEST recipe ever and now I buy ahi and pretty much have it on hand for when I'm craving protein. I eat lots more fish (it is the perfect meat for my body), very lean ground turkey, and boneless, skinless chicken breasts for meat. Many, many, many salads (I make a great salad now and use balsamic vinegar, avocado oil or EVOO, and lemon juice for dressing). You are a hero, never forget that. God has now equipped you to consider all kinds of things people have to deal with in diets. You are uniquely qualified to help so many others. Thank you for your courage in sharing. This too, shall pass, as all things do. I love you and your family. Peace.

So many new health challenges to track ... yikes! You are amazing. Glad things settled down with the diabetes.. excellent tips about food and nutrition for the long haul. xoxo

I totally remember telling you to start your timer. Feels so long ago. Looking back, God had a plan for it all and I'm so thankful to see you and Taylor healthy and happy <3

She is definitely a miracle baby.

I really wish I didn't struggle with this as much as I did, especially as a chef who should know a thing or two about food and adjusting to dietary needs, but let me tell you...this almost took me down!
