Dear Pattie, Fat & Steaks - it's Chiqui here. sounds like we're a barbecue, with hamburger patties, chicken & steaks, plus fat!
Such terrific advice. I am having a hard time convincing myself to get with it. Can't stay on the low carb altho I know it's the best for me.
I should make my diet a priority but I keep going on and off the wagon. Now I have a trip coming up with 30 passengers, taking them on a 2-weeker, with half the meals included. As the tour guide, I have to eat with them. We go to nice places with great food. It's very hard to say no, even tho I know what's good and what isn't.
Pattie, re the language, either you're a language learner or your not. It's like drawing or singing.
Either you can do it or not. I can't draw at all but I speak a couple of languages. So don't fight it.
Learn some key words, like yes/no, please/thanks, the numbers 1-10, then 20,30, to 100. Learn how to say time, the hour, the days of the week, the months, the seasons. The colors.
I used to teach English as a second language. Some crucial words are want, like, have, go, see, say, make, spend, cost, big/small, good/bad, worse/bettter. Also when I travel (43 countries) I have to make myself understood. I use my hands a lot and draw pictures but it works. Be patient with yourself.
Cheers from Chiqui
