Mel,
I love reading your posts. They help keep me smiling.

I can totally relate to the weight issues. I have always been the girl with weight problems. A year ago I was diagnoised with Diabetes and started taking nutrition ands diabetic classes. I have managed to loose 45 lbs in the past year. I refuse to diet. I just want to eat and be healthy. It is too bad I didn't know the things way back when that I know now. Or that my parents didn't know either. I came from a big family. Seven brothers and sisters. My parents were just worried about feeding us whatever they could afford and would fill us up. It wasn't necessarly nutritious. And of course we always had to eat what was on our plates.

Knowing what I know now, I worry about my grandkids and trying to get their parents to understand how important what we eat is. I see so many parents rewarding their kids with candy or sweets.

I am probably just rambeling. I had a really bad headach today and even though the pain is gone, my head is still fuzzy.
