Re: nagging ailments that are gone!

[Guest guest]

a, don't be like me. I have been eating a gazillion carbs and getting

all my weight and every other symptom bugging me/ Today is the first day in

forever that I had l/c chicken salad for bkfst and 1/2 Santa Fe chicken

salad for lunch. Tonight we are going to the casino buffet again and I hope

I can stay with it.
