Congratulations on your success, tee.   We all have to do what works for us.  Sugar isn't that big of a deal for me and I truly don't miss it.  There are some things that I would absolutely miss and will not substitute - real butter, for example. 
I'm wearing 8's too, but they're so tight I can't breathe in those puppies.  Headed back to goal though.  It's all good.

 Today the definition of success is health, not slim.  The meaning of that is energy, function, and using food rather than it using me.

There was a time, a very looong time that these words were spoken and believed to be understood.  Post colon cancer,  weight is not my issue any more.  The sad fact is, that I am an accidental "success."  I was even screwed up enough to think I was grateful for cancer so I could be a size 6-a very unrealistic size for me.  I have been to anorexia-ville and believe today that it isn't a great place to live.

Formerly fat people, like me, have heavier bones and have fat in places we may never get rid of.  Imagine someone with a large athletic frame, 5"10 and size 6 being unhappy with lumps and bumps and fool enough to care.

I hope you achieve whatever goal you wish to achieve.  But put healthy at the top of your list.  just sayin'

 and THERE you have it!    

once upon a time I had a group to talk about Binge Eating Disorder, and later one about Clean Eating.

PM me if you are interested in either of these.

I will.

I'm 5' 2" and according to the BMI charts150 pounds is overweight.  I don't care.  I feel good at that weight and I look like a normal average woman.   For me to get smaller I'd have to starve myself or exercise obsessively.  I refuse to live like that.

I'm uncomfortable carrying these extra pounds.  I feel them.

So Blessed!   You are my hero for telling me about these.  My husband is diabetic so Iam always looking for something that we can both have for a special little treat.

Thanks for the tip about the cocoa... there is nothing better than chocolate, except MORE chocolate !!!!!
I got my sleeve on March 14, 2011.  I love it so far!

You're welcome.   I like to doctor up mixes to give them my own spin.
