OMG have you ever had curried yellow split peas? TO DIE FOR!!!

Lee what is EFS?

MSW I am a little leary of the appetite suppressants because I can't tolerate meat like I use to. I was thinking of following the food plan that you posted. What do you suggest? Some days are like I only eat meat and no veggies. I have a lot of time on my hand, other than being in Grad School, I have had to let some things go that were distracting. My friends took me to dinner Saturday for my birthday, I was watching how some of them were eating the bread and I got full. They brought me a small bowl of pot liquor from the collard greens and a mini corn muffin, it was very good and filling. I am a little afraid, because even if I am not losing, I am not gaining and I have no energy to do anything.

I'm not riding, but I wish you all the best.  I will be EFS'ing that way I won't turn into a green eyed angry monster.

You covet my arms, I covet your everything.   :)  You are so inspirational to me Martita and I know I say it to you a lot, but it's because it's true.  You know you look good and you are not afraid to be proud of yourself, which is something I have always struggled with.   I love when you post pics,  the other day I was eating yogurt in the cafeteria and everyone at the table was eating all types of fattening delicious smelling food and I pulled up one of your picture pages to help me through it, then I had to end up telling your story and showing them your pics.  lol.
