in Introduce Yourself
As you can tell I am new. I am 42 years old, a highschool teacher, a girl scout leader (I still have those wonderful boxes of things that break many diets!) and taxi driver for 3 kids. I am a new flexatarian and a pre-diabetic. I am getting my recommended Black belt in taekwondo on Monday. Currently I weigh as much as I did when I was 9 months pregnant- unfortuneately I had the last one 13 years ago. Because of new health concerns plus high blood pressure I joined my school's version of the Biggest Loser and this site in hopes for insights into controlling my intake as well as reformulating my family's diet.

    Welcom LJ!

    ooh I see that you are a purveyor of those evil treats that tempt me every year.

    Girl scout cookies were invented by Satan himself to tempt the weak. I, as of yet, haven't given in to them, but every time they come around my will weakens a little bit more.

    As Marie Antoinette said "Let them eat (low fat, angel food) Cake (in small sizes with no frosting and only pureed strawberries with splenda as a topping)"

    she said that right?
