I have no idea why, but I really am excited about your prune purchase! Do you like dried figs? I think they are yummy too. I think they are in the same fruit family. I have read that in France, some people end their meal with a little bit of cheese with dried figs. Supposedly, the little protein/car...

Hi Deb, I can only hope you guys get used to my own special brand of crazy! The secret is out! I really am crazy. As well as neurotic and extremely indecisive!

I don't think they have "French" roast coffee or "French" fries in France, either! No, we don't have "American" hard gums here :) I don't know what "American" hard gums are, they sound like something attached to dentures! Do you know....

I am a prune/dried plum devotee myself. 4 or 6 sounds like a perfectly moderate amount. I know the recommended serving size on my container is 5 dried plums for a total of 100 calories. I like to have 10 almonds and 5 plums as a mini meal. I have a coworker who works out every day and really watches...

Hi Deb, I think you and I are on the same "schedule" I have been feeling a little introspective myself today. I think you are still doing such a WONDERFUL job with "No S". You wrote that you had nine good days and were not going to start over. I think that is probably the healthiest mental thing you...

1/15/06 I can't believe I forgot it was on S day to be honest with you! The first 10 days of No S turned out to be all S days for me. I kept snacking and eating candy and stuff. I decided to *really* try to stick to the No S habit on the 11th since almost every day I kept messing up. I am getting r...

Thanks, Carolejo. I think both you and Debbie have been instrumental in changing my way of thinking about the way I eat. I can't thank you enough for helping me on this new way of life!
