... I had delicious fried eggs with some melted cheese on top this morning (at 4:30 a.m., no less - I commute via ferry) and it's almost 9:00 a.m. and not a hint of hunger AT ALL!

Thanks again for the suggestion about selling that garbage.  Can't wait to share the joys of eating good food and losing weight!

Hi, Gail! :)

My favorite breakfast is a 3-egg cheddar cheese omelet with a couple of sausage patties.

When I eat that, I can go out and dig and set fence posts ALL day without getting hungry. ;D
But I make sure to stay hydrated with plenty of plain water and chew Trident gum.

I am so grateful and thankful for all the great suggestions and encouragement.  I was looking through some recipes and the Butterfinger pieces REALLY caught my eye (Butterfinger - my all-time favorite).  The beauty is that you can make them any size you want, and a small piece would be enough to soothe the savage beast, but not lead to dangerous desire for sweets.

Day 1 went GREAT - and I didn't even have anything of a sweet nature other than one piece of sugar-free gum - hallelujah!  I had baked chicken with a mayo/salsa "dip" along with salad and italian dressing and was completely satisfied.  Didn't even night snack!  A miracle in itself.

Day 2 began with scrambled eggs and bacon at a place in my building.  A few months ago I tried eggs at Organics to Go in my building and it was obvious something had been added - and it tasted flour-like - yuk!  I'm gonna cook up some eggs/veggies/cheese and take 'em to work to warm up in the mircowave for the next few days, along with some bacon (nitrate/nitrite free) - saves money and tastes better anyway.

Thank you thank you thank you ... again!
