Well done you! Onwards and upwards, and how wonderful that you don't actually crave for all that sugary bad stuff any more! As you say, it's just as much about eating healthily now.

Last night hubby asked if we wanted to go out to dinner, but I knew I´d probably overeat and chose the wrong foods so I convinced him to stay home and eat sensibly.

It is funny about how we change and it isn't about how good we look but about how much better we feel. <br />I have to say after 3 weeks, I am feeling like my head is clear and I feel so much better. So I know that food does make or break us. <br />I am so happy for you. <br />It is nice when we get to the place where feeling alive is so much better than eating a cake. <Farm Girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00998621464797636686noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2600608370084874699.post-50184119366364528722011-09-17T18:26:31.647-04:002011-09-17T18:26:31.647-04:00Biz- Thank you so much!
