      Shannon, your story and insights are one of the most inspiring I've read in a long time!! There are times when I read a post on this forum where I get so excited about what I read I can hardly sit in my chair. Your post is one of those and it will be bookmarked and read again and again. Thank you!!! :cry: :bigsmile: :flowerforyou:

      LOVE :heart: :heart: :heart: the Julia Child quote!!! Just last night I was telling my husband that what I'm doing is not a diet. I've done diets (over and over and over) and have failed! This is a lifestyle. This is a choice to be a better me. And I will NEVER give up the joy of eating great food. I will however give up the pasty nastiness that is a McDonald french fry. :tongue:

      That 10% figure scared me! I guess I'll be using this site for a really long time to come - once I've lost the weight, I want to maintain my new BMI. :-)

      I'm mostly a reader and not a replier of the message boards, but I had to say something about this post. Inspirational and wonderfully put. Thank you for me and for all the others who needed this. Congrats on your continued success of happiness and your changed mindset.

      I cant believe I get to be this thin eating food I really like to eat. I mean, I love my food, and it is literally all killer no filler.

      Portion control and calorie counting for life.
