Have a SUPER weekend Dawn. Best of luck to David at his football game!!! I wanna see pictures of the Tie Dye creations!!! *huggles* Felicia =0)

Thats me *grin* Brain Inspiration For The Masses LMAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO I think you have an awesome plan. There is no reason what so ever you can not stick to it for the rest of your life. Look how far you have come and your plan has proven to work!! I hear you about the fruit being to sweet. I remember the first time I had pineapple. OMG my mouth was watering. Took a small bite ( a little scare of dumping on it) and it was sooooooooo sweet that it was almost a disappointment as it overwhelmed me. It was good though but 1 bite ended up being plenty. WHICH IS GREAT!!!!!!!!!!! I had that problem with bread several months ago. Now I have no trouble with any type of bread as long as I eat super slow. *HUGGLES* Felicia =0)

*Waves hand* Me me me Atkins baby here also. Managed to gain and lose and gain and lose up to 90lbs at a time over 3 years on it LMAOO. I do agree with its basis though and do still tend to follow his "golden rules". I don't so much think that I am dieting with it though as its the lifestyle I have chosen for myself that makes me feel the best with that type of food when eaten. I still rarely by pasta, white bread, white rice etc lol. But when I get take out I do splurge a bit. Joshua has never even had a slice of white bread, at least here at home lol. But I also found that I didn't miss it. I like the whole grain breads and pastas. They have flavor. BUT I do love a hunk of GOOD crusty bread *Grin*. Even though it doesn't really like me anymore lmaooo I have the same problem that you do with hunger. 11 months out ( ok in 2 days) and I still am never hungry. I plan my breakfast, lunch , dinner and snacks out and approximately when to eat them as if I didn't I would just not eat at all. On the flip side I do get the stop feeling. My head says "EAT THE WHOLE THING" and my tummy says half is enough, if you eat the whole thing I will kick your ass for the rest of the day lol. I don't see anything wrong with comparing ourselves to each other. Its when we use that as a gauge of success that it become a problem. When its a tool to keep you moving and motivated its different. I have several people that I "compare" myself to. In good ways and some not so good ways lol but its all in how we keep it in perspective. *huggles* Felicia =0)

HAHAHA Been there with the potato. I bought a small bag of red potatoes the other day and made up eggs, and potatoes for breakfast and I thought my family was going to pass out from shock and excitement. I love potatoes. We love potatoes. But they are WAY to easy to eat lol so they are a very limited treat in our house. *huggles* Felicia =0)

Isn't it amazing how a bite of something now is enough. I almost never by something for myself anymore. Why bother I would just throw most of it away anyways lol but when Dale or Joshua get something I have a bite. I know its not mine to inhale (like I could NOT) and it has helped me train my brain to see that a bite is enough. By the way I LOVE Snickers. Haven't had one for years though lol Got me thinking about candy bars and remembering that my favorite one is called Rocky Road. MMMMMMMMM Marsh mellow, nuts and chocolate. It was to sweet back in the day and would probably kill me today but still brings back happy memories lol. *huggles* Felicia =0)
