Today I am starting my commitment to a healthier lifestyle. I know from experience that FTS works and can make you happier, more energetic and healthier. I also know that having reverted back to my old habits I regained all the weight that I lost plus a few more pounds. I am very ashamed of this because FTS I believe is the cure for obesity. I am morbidly obese and want to lead a healthier lifestyle for the betterment of myself and my future. I could make excuses for myself but won't because I take full responsibility for my actions. I have decided to keep a food journal and write down everything that I eat, drink plenty of water and do some sort of exercise daily. I look forward to watching the pounds fall off. I am so greatful for all the love and support that this website offers and can't wait to meet my first goal of 50 pounds.

I tried this recipe today and just had to share it . I thought it was perfect for the hot summer day and the tomatoes and cucumbers that I have been blessed with from the garden.
Quick Pickled Cucumber, Onion and Tomato Salad
2 cucumbers peeled and thinly sliced
1/2 large Vidalia onion
1 large tomato cored and coarsely chopped
Apple Cider Vinegar
1 T. celery seed
black pepper
In a medium bowl, combine the cucumbers and onion and sprinkle withe the vinegar and 3/4 tsp. of the salt. Cover and let stand for thirty minutes. In a seperate bowl, toss the tomato with the remaining 1/4 tsp of salt. Add the tomato to the cucumber mixture. Add the celery seed and pepper to taste and toss. Adjust seasoning if desired. Delish!

What a very wise insight. I also believe that you can't love anyone else unless you love yourself. I too found out the hard way that you can't make anyone else love themselves or God for that matter. God is love.

This is a recipe I made up early in the season. I call it cheesy tomato. You take a firm green tomato, dice in chunks into a skillet of sausage drippings and fry until tender, seasoning with salt and pepper to taste. After putting that in a bowl, take a slice of Kraft Deli Cheese and melt in the microwave 32 seconds or so and stir together. I like to eat this as a side dish and replacement for macaroni and cheese. Give it a try, it is really yummy!

A tuna noodle casserole would be good. I have eaten tofu before and cooked with it. The noodles I probably will like. Tofu absorbs the flavor of whatever you cook it with really well.

I have never tried tofu noodles, I need to go to the healthfood store and get some ...that sounds like it would be good. I noticed a pretty red pepper in the garden today. I want to stuff it with tuna. I need to get me another stockpile of tuna. Umpa has got me craving that again.

I have always been here...even if I don't post. I have severe addiction to caffiene and sugar. Sweetnlow is my favorite sweetner. I need to stick with Xylitol or Stevia.

Lettuce....that sounds like a great salad idea. I need to eat more salads. I am so excited to be making Gumbo today. Seafood Gumbo is my favorite Creole food. I also like the idea of making tuna salad and guacomole and mixing it together and putting it on a salad instead of dressing. For breakfast I had shrimp on a Joseph's pita with some sprinkle cheese on it. I have been craving shrimp lately

Obesity tends to run in families. I am ashamed to be obese when I know the solution is Fat to Skinny. Sugar is a drug. I quit smoking, I hope that I can overcome my addiction to Sugar. It really helps to have the close support. This is my favorite website. I have spent more time on it than any other website, even ebay.

It also goes good in Joseph's pitas with a slice of tomato. My mother's mother used to make it on Sundays with the mayo and relish. I learned something new about my grandmother.

Thanks! I wonder how much better it would be with leftover ham in the food processor to cut down on sodium count. I love me some pig!
