Well, in a few months your health will be so much better than hers. Not that I want bad things for her, but I wonder what her cholesterol level will be if thats her normal lunch?

Stick to it and things are much better over the horizon.

BTW... Di and I have our 10 year this coming March

Congratulations! Clint I will have 11 years in December. Woo-hoo!

Her cholesterol should be outrageous...however, some people seem to slip by the cholesterol fairy. Spaghetti-o's, chocolate cakes, school lunches, lasagnas, etc. That's the typical fare.

Sigh. Maybe she'll see how well I'm doing and decide to take the straight and narrow way, too!

That is how it worked for me. My sis started it, then my dad, then my mom, then my other sis. Took that long before I jumped in, but I am glad I did. None of them pressured either - just did the plan and I saw their progress and wanted to be a part of it.

Ok, I think that's it.......when I run out of bars (I have a few more boxes close to their expiration), I think I'm not going to buy any more. I've just been reading too much about how bars stall people in their journey. Lord knows I don't need to be stalled! Shoot, I may just not finish 'em up....But I need to get some soy-based shakes in order to make up the difference in hunger. The bar at 10 am keeps me going through the day. I've been using Cappucino, Cranberry Mango, Raspberry and Peach Teas as my supplements...I've run out of everything else except chicken noodle soup, and while tasty/filling when doctored up, it just ain't cuttin' it! Hopefully, I will get paid and I can place a big order with all my favorite stuff and be able to feel fuller again. Right now, I don't feel full except with a bar or L&G, but I'm drinking lots of water in order to compensate for feeling those hunger pangs. I'm not giving in!!

That's my rant for the day. (TOM is here and I'm SUPER irritated. Perfect day to contact all those folks who owe me money!)

HA! At first when I read that, I thought I was reading the thread about meeting men in bars, HAHA, and thought wow, signlady must really get around!

For most of my life I always ate until I felt full. Now I think about what I am eating and why and try to remind myself that I need to eat until I am not hungery anymore, not until I am full. I do agree that they whey based stuff does not hold off the hungeries as long as the soy based stuff does. I love the rasp. iced tea, I even make it hot sometimes, but I usually keep it for evenings after my lean and green, more as a drink instead of considering it a meal.

So far, having a bar a day has not hindered me, but I am really just getting started so I know if I get stalled that will be the first thing I stop.

You guys are a riot! I've never even been in a bar! I've been in restaurants that have bars off to the side, but since I don't drink alcohol, there really was never a point for me to go. I'm practical like that....

Now give me an all-you-can-eat buffet and I'm there! Especially Boston Lobster Feast in Orlando. Oh my goodness! (I may need a moment for myself.) Just a side note...Why is it that restaurants have "AUCE" on their signs instead of "AYCE" for All-You-Can-Eat? It doesn't make sense to me that they would use an abbreviation for an abbreviation. But, I digress....

Are you kidding me??? My co-workers just came in with PLATTERS (I'm not exaggerating) full of cafeteria-type mac-n-cheese. Now, I only have really two foods that could trigger me into oblivion...Good pizza and mounds of gooey mac-n-cheese. (A couple of pounds of cheese melted into goo probably would do it too...there was a cartoon where a mouse said, "Cheese! I luuuuuv cheese. Really, I do...I resemble that mouse.) So, I did not eat with the gang today.

I pray that someday bad foods will repulse me when I see the grease on top of anything....I used to watch my grandmother stir the grease back into a bowl of fried chicken sawmill gravy--and wait with anticipation....I remember eating pizza in the school cafeteria and turning it up on the side to drain the grease out...what is wrong with this country that eating this way is "good food?" It's killing us--killing our kids. I am determined that my children are going to know what real food is like, prepared well with seasoning and not exorbitant amounts of fat. Vegetable straight from my garden, full of flavor and grilled, steamed or blanched with seasonings that enhance good flavors, not coat your tongue with grease!

I am beginning to see a light at the end of a very, very long, dark tunnel.
