Ah!!! now I understand No Pudge Brownies.

Unfortunately, I can't make them. See, I can't go backwards, the way I used to be. I used to hit the twinkies, ding dongs and hostess ho ho's and susi Q's.

If I start doing the No Pudge Brownie thing, well, my brain will be triggered.

I've stopped that way of eating. I do enjoy an occasional brownie (like on holidays or a piece of birthday cake at a party). But honestly, when you've weighed what I use to weigh. And when you finally get your body to a size where you can shop for clothes at regular stores and and people don't notice your girth as you pass them by... well, that's good enough for me.

As a matter of fact, I just came from around the corner, at a friend's house. I helpe her with some word-processing and she offered me some cake to bring home. She baked all day yesterday. Now, I call this weekend Thanksgiving Weekend. So I'm not about to turn down someone's chocolate pudding pie. I brought a piece home for Alan, and yes, I had a piece after supper with a nice cup of coffee. It tasted exactly as if I had made sugar-free chocolate pudding pie, with fat free cool whip. Exactly the same. It was good.

Now will I go out tomorrow and buy some sugar free jello chocolate and cool whip and make some pie?? No!!!. I've had my treat for thanksgiving.

Next time will be Christmas. If someone gives me some Christmas cake, that will be fine.

I've had to re-educate my brain chemistry. Not an easy thing to do at ANY age. But I persevere. See, I want to reach the age of 80 and still look like Raquel Welch!!! Remember her??? lol Melody
