@Doug and Umpa, yeah, I thik you're right. Most people are out there for a "quick" fix! and are never gonna get it! Trust me when I tell you, we ALL(but the husband of course:-)rebeled! LoL...Cause, I used to Love chips, and anything sweet! But at the time of rebellion:-) when I would try to drink like a coke or something, it tasted horrible! Like straight syrup, couldn't even taste the coke in it! The mind still plays tricks on me about wanting the "old stuff", but I believe, now I have enough will power to not do it! When I first started I weighed 240, and I really didn't think I was that much over weight, until...I started seeing the results for myself! I was only lying to myself! Thanks for opening my eyes! Even though I'm not diabetic, it's way better than any kind of "diet" out there!
