everybody is free to speak their truth and that's the way it should be. I have made the mistake of taking it all too seriously but usually I don't. I recommend the light-hearted approach for everybody.

some of us (you, me & Fawn come to mind) eat more carbs than most here. so what? doesn't have to be a big hairy deal.

but I understand sometimes it is. you notice I don't say "it's only the internet" because we are PEOPLE, no "just" anything so sometimes people get upset.

meanwhile - I'm putting same fruit in my oatmeal and calling it good. post on!

Being too serious all the time is what turns people off! This is part of life......if you can't laugh about it during the good and bad times......it seems too much like work!

You know a funny thing is that early post op...you know, that phase when you can barely eat anything BUT protein, I was losing painfully slow. So after 3 months of that nonsense, I added back in my good carbs...like oats and whole grain breads, etc., and guess what happened to me??? My weight loss actually picked up! My Doctor was shocked, but I wasn't because I had tried the ketogenic diets before and never lost much. For ME and MY body, carbs help facilitate weight loss. Now, I am very active by choice and have been for more than 20 years. And that is NOT going to stop. I have had many sports related injuries over the years and currently have an injury. But do I let that sideline me??...hell no. I find a way to work around these issues because a life sitting on the couch sucks! And I DO wear a size 4 at 5'7, but that is just a by product of a healthy lifestyle whi*****ludes carbs and plenty of exercise!

Keep on truckin' LIP : )

Hey we should change the subject to exercise! Are you an "exercise Nazi".....or a "couch potato" Then we can discuss it ad nauseum and I will start referring to it as the "E" word!

BTW the little laughing guy is to hint that my comment was tongue-in-cheek.

Oh God Jimbo, I never take your referral the the "c" word as anything other than humorous. In fact, the first time you wrote it my mind went to a very dirty place because the "c' word in the non wls world usually refers to something totally different! Capice??

The "O" word might belong on the sex boards! Not a huge fan of oatmeal......in cookies....different story! Hey! oatmeal makes the cookies healthy right? Just like carrot cake...banana bread etc!

I have always maintained that the addition of cranberry, grape or orange juice makes vodka healthy - is this not so????
