Thanks Doug and Umpa for starting this website and for all the members and they kind words.
It is hard at first, but I think I am getting more comfortable with my food and it is still amazing to me that when I stay away from the sugar, how free I am from constant cravings. I am learning to eat when I am hungry and more importantly- not eat when I am not hungry. What an aha moment. Plus I feel better overall and the clothes are beginning to fit better. What a blessing that your book "jumped off the shelf in its' bright red and yellow cover" as I would have never noticed it since there are soooooo many other books there. So I just wanted to say "thanks" as this is the first time in a very long time I am losing weight, actually losing weight, not playing the up and down game, up 1 #, down 1#, etc. I am actually losing and each week lose a little more.
Have a great week to all!
