Hello my friend! You are so right about eating better. I feel so much better since I cut out the sugar. It was literally driving me crazy. I think we both started about the same time, I'm rooting for you kiddo! keep up the good work. You can do this! Believe me I've never lasted more than 1 week on anyone's diet because I'm an emotional eater, and believe me it does'nt take much to set me in motion. But I've given up the comfort in food and decided to really chance from the inside out 1st. That's really where most weight gain problems begin....But I'll tell you guys..I watched the Discovery channel the other night. They had on the body challenge pre-show or whatever. But when they explained what happen's internally when you are carrying extra pounds I literally almost vomitted (sorry about my spelling). Anyway they showed the fat around the mid-section binded itself to your organ's (some is normal) but this was really thick and gross. The heart (while showing an autopsy of a fat dead person) was enlarged to the size of a mini football which they said was due to the amount of fat in the arteries which of course created blockage.But the blockage does'nt just cause heart disease it causes damage to other organ's within the body. That scared the crap right out of me! I was literally scared straight. Wish I had taped it for future motivation (HAHAHA!!) All jokes aside though it really was an eye openner. The good thing was they were'nt really advocating one diet plan so it was'nt anti-low carb or pro- low fat. Eat right and exercise was their quote. It's not that we did'nt know that we just sometimes forget to practice it. Also my friends they said even a 10lb weight loss can extend your life's expectancy considerably. So let's all focus on the health benefit's 1 lb. at a time. (smile)

Well, see you guys!
