51, I was like you, a food addict. I liked all foods, but did not know that I could eat all I wanted of some of them and lose weight and be totally satisfied. My mom was large---never over 300#. I watched her eat and gain. She became wheelchair bound in her late 80's from bad legs because of weight. LDL has released me from guilt and bondage to foods---no more cravings for white sugar sweets and pizza. EAT, EAT, EAT the LDL foods---never go hungry again. Thanks, Roger, for the Red book. Thanks, First Magazine for Women for the great article. Thanks board friends, for all your creative recipes, health tips, and encouragement.
It's a beautiful day. I am so thrilled to see all the flowers and blossoms. The Lilacs smell so good. My peonies won't be blooming. Before we got the fence around them, they were weed eaten. I cried. I have pink, white, and burgundy. The boy thought they were weeds. My DH said I must have been worshipping them
. I'll miss them. They were right outside my kitchen slider. I'll know to get the fence up around them next year. I'll have to admire my neighbor's this year. She was 96 yrs old last Friday, and she still is active. She and her DH never ate sandwiches. She has always cooked 3 meals a day. Old fashioned oatmeal for breakfast. They limited their meats,and lived out of their garden in summer. She also gets up early and puts her anklets and lace up-shoes on. She walked a whole lot.

and couldn't believe it. He did, however, buy us a new one though when he realized it (wasn't very costly since it was a new little plant). Jerrie
