SDaedalus, thank you for the encouragement. I am feeling more in control, and more determined as well. The hoodia helped with getting into a habit of eating once a day unless I need to do otherwise. Sky is still trying to get me on Concerta, but I’m like, “Why?” I’m already doing for myself what the drug would do.

Guns, thank you too. I watched my mom go through hell on diet after diet and still end up gaining the weight back. I do not want to be like that. I work a sedentary job, and most of my exercise is just stretching, dancing, and walking, so once I got my nutrition balanced, eating once a day made sense since most of my day is sitting. I could do this forever.

Good food is such a joy. It’s nice not to have to count calories.
