 Love you Mz. Shell! Love your willingness to strip down and bare your inner secrets with all of us. I've always said that unlike drunks or other dedicates, we wear our addictions on our body.  My scale reminds me of that daily.  My personal addictions like sugar, flour and fat love to go on vacation because my food scale isn't around and I willingly (because it doesn't happen on its own) chuck some of my rules out the window.  I'm currently on a 12 day vacation and get to view my crazy head. I'm surrounded by people who eat anything and everything. Yes it's organic and healthy but not necessarily healthy for me who gains weight at the sight of a lemon drop. 

I asked for a bathroom scale yesterday. My girlfriend doesn't weigh her 110 pound body, but her husband does.  It's a funny talking scale. It sounds like a football coach with a megaphone. Hate him!  So I tiptoed on this morning and he announced to the neighborhood that I gained two pounds.  I'm grateful for the facts and even more grateful for the left over grilled chicken.

Youre right. At two years hunger grows. Learning to manage it is definitely a challenge for me.  Keep coming back please.  We all need each other!

THANK YOU for your brutal honesty and for your bravery.  Frisco posted the link to this post and it came up in my feed.  A year out of surgery and I'm not on the boards as much as I'd like, so I'm really thankful to have read this. 

For what it's worth, I KNOW you will be successful because you WANT to be and that's a beautiful thing!

Thank you for your kind words!!!  This last week has been trying because the scale is NOT cooperating, but it will =)
