...one more thing...if you look anything like your picture you are a very beautiful woman just the way you are!

I am going to share with you what is working for me. I still struggle a bit with over eating at night but now I only do it slightly and with foods that will not feed the cravings but will satisfy them. The cravings for many people are about their body's insulin response to carbohydrates. When you eat too many carbs your…

At this point desert would be a small piece of strong cheese and/or a glass of red wine. Once weaned off carbs your sweet tooth disappears.

Go with the love life. Without that who cares about being thin!

Wow, those are two things we really can't do much about. Well...I guess we could stop aging but that would be much worse than loose skin!

Every situation is different but maybe a friend or relative can come by and fill in for you while you squeeze in a little "you" time. If you feel good you may lift your husband's spirits as well!

I am concerned about loose skin as well. I read that skin cells only live a few months and that your entire skin (organ) is replaced every year or so assuming a healthy lifestyle is followed. Skin is a maintenance draw for your body so it will not maintain more skin than it needs (to a point). From what I have read it may…
