You are absolutely right, Jean. Thanks for the reminder. I think I'll go
shopping today so that I am prepared. But first I'm going to clean out
the refrigerator of all the bad things... :-)

Let's all keep in touch, like Denise said. Who's in?

is nothing I am allowed to eat around, Atkins goes out the window, then I feel
ashamed and eat anything (and everything) I can find. The trick is to have meats
already cooked, salads all ready to eat, and cheeses cut in 1 oz. cubes, ready
to eat. It's the feeling of deprivation that gets us. Be ready!
