Hi everyone, thanks for the warm welcome. After so much lurking, I feel I know everyone here, but now I'm feeling a little bit shy. 
it probably won't last long, since I do love a good conversation. Thanks for the warm welcome.
Shel, I'm going to a wedding near Monticello this weekend. I grew up in small town not far from there and remember some Friday Night Lights when we played them in football.
About year 3, I found my weight starting to creep up. The first 10 pounds were a surprise, but generally didn't upset me too much, but the next 15 were kind of scary. I've been holding my current weight for pretty much a year and a half, but then saw an upward trend from all this traveling. I found my religion again, and decided to see if I could give up added sugar for just two weeks. I was feeling completely at the mercy of food obsessions, out of control, and panicked. For whatever unknown, mystical reason, what had seemed impossible became possible again. I don't know what clicked, but I just finished week 3. I've lost about 5 pounds (a lot of i****er weight) but what I've gained is a sense of control. Right now, that feels better than even seeing a lower number on the scale.
