thank you rosie for you contribution to this thread. I am happy for you that you are learning to incorporate healthier eating habits. yes diet sodas are so bad for us, well actually all chemicals that are added to food can plaque us. try to stay away from the center isles of the grocery store...that is where the non food items are sold and tempt us so. I eat at a health food store monday thru friday so get a good lunch then. I weighed in this morning at 158 would like to be 135 by my cruise in feb. I started drinking herbal teas in the evenings to replace the alcohol and it seems to be satisfying enough. I am an oral person. I am surprised I never started smoking.
have a great day.quinoa is a great grain that cook with instead of cracked wheat. they use it tabouli at the cafe. delicious and high in protein.
