Guest guest Posted April 17, 2003 Report Share Posted April 17, 2003 Good job! I remember how proud I was after the family reuinion last year (husbands side - german - and lots of GREAT food. I took really sweer grapes with me and walked around holding them. Every time I wanted something I'd eat a grape. I was so proud I came directly to the computer to tell this group.

Guest guest Posted April 18, 2003 Report Share Posted April 18, 2003 , Sounds like you did great! Good for you! I think it was definitely worth commenting on! You are learning the balance, that we can eat normal, just less. That's great! I hope your dad is ok, stubborn coot! LOL What can you do but just love him eh? Take care of your ankle. I'm glad to hear it's not as bad as it was before. Take care, Gena > I feel pretty good about not over indulging in the office food day > today.
