Nothing tastes as good as being thinner feels.

I have to walk early in the morning, before my brain figures out what I'm doing.

I'm guitly of almost all of the above!  Born and raised in the south (not always Alabama).  True GRITS (Girl Raised In The South), that's me.  I am really bad about using fixin' as a noun.
