A confession from your group owner

[michiganmom116]

Ladies,

You're a great group.  I enjoy being the owner of this group.

However, I no longer make or eat bread.

About 10 months ago, I was desperate to find a way to help me control my out-of-control blood sugars (I'm diabetic).  In my search, I ran across a way of living (diet, exercise, stress control) called Paleo or Primal.  Part of the diet is to completely cut out grains and grain products, including bread, pasta, and cereal.  After 1 month of following this lifestyle, my blood sugars were controllable, my cholesterol was FINALLY normal after years of having high readings (and no meds!), and several other health issues were resolved.  I continue to follow this lifestyle and totally enjoy being healthy and feeling phenomenally great. 

So, the group owner of the Bread Machine Moms group does not make or eat bread.  Crazy, huh?

I say again, I enjoy being the owner of this group.  I just want you all to understand that I don't personally eat bread and don't make it anymore unless it's for someone else.

If you all want to boo me or throw rotten fruit, go ahead  LOL  If you want me to step down as group owner, I understand.   No matter what, I will continue to provide recipes and tips and offer advice when I can.

Thank you for reading.

I am with you. I still love bread, and love making it. However I am much healthier when I don't eat it.

Ehh....for the newbies like me, the expertise you have about breadmaking makes up for you not eating it! lol..I love making bread, but really try to limit it. It can get overwhelming and before you know it, you ate 1/2 a loaf!

Congratulations on improving your health so well.  But you are very informative here, along with many other things, that I am sure everyone will understand and still want you to lead the group.  I do hope it won't bother you though, with hearing and posting things about bread etc.  It can be hard at times, when you still find and post things for the group and answer questions.   You are so loved here, that I am sure everyone will want you to keep being the owner.  Enjoy life have fun.   And thank you for allllll the wonderful recipes and answers in helping everyone.
