Nope not doing GI - altho I am (supposed to) avoiding white flour and sugar - there was an actual food plan I was following in FA and OA -- both quite healthy - too rapid a wt loss I think but very good - get all the essential foods and plenty of them.

Anyway - baby carrots so I can sit there munching them instead of eating the whole ( _________ ) that one of my customers gave me! HOMEMADE! even though she KNOWS I am trying to be good ... argh ... :trout:

What, you want me to mail the ( __________ )?

I could try ...

ha ha ha!

Seriously, no I don't swear anything ...

I was just now trying to find a food plan online with no luck (I can recall but I'm not sure how accurately). I will come up with something tomorrow, tho.

The food plan for FA (food addicts anonymous) is basically the same for all members, but the member's sponsor is the "ultimate authority" over specific changes (add this, take away that, specific "rules") - at least that's how it seems to be around here.

OA's food plans are more geared to the individual's needs, in fact the websites I was just looking at said they basically have recalled any of the written food plans that OA used to put out. When I went there I used a food plan recommended by Glenbeigh Hospital's food addiction hosp - which seems to no longer have an inpt program. I don't know what they do now.

Blue - that vacation sounds wonderful! I am envious!

Angie - I know what you mean about not eating - I do really bad if I don't eat at least a little something throughout the day too.

Travel - smoking is such a hard habit to kick, I haven't smoked for years and I still miss it!

Speaking of which - WooHoo on the non-smoking Zoe!

Muffie - Yes, baby carrots are wonderful, except us low-carbers, hehe.

Tweety - Hi - hope all is well!

Everyone and anyone I may have missed - hello to all & hope y'all are doing great!

I am down 1 lb. since last week - so WooHoo!!! I have been being pretty good - not perfect, but not bad either, so yeay! I had my induction into the school's honor society last night and I managed to behave and avoid the desserts, so that was a triumph for me. :)

Zoe, it's a step up on the unit I already worked on and I had this vacation scheduled for a while. Actually, I had two weeks and the manager denied the 2nd week because she can't cover me next week as she's off and another one is getting married. But having a week off at home with no where to go and nothing to do is a nice rest. The dinner party went very well. It was nice to have longtime friend over to laugh and enjoy.

Today I'm going to the gym. :)
