RobinsEgg - I do love to read, but I kinda read for a living (I'm a professor), and I'm just whipped at the end of the night. I find I only have an hour late at night to do anything for myself.

I've now hit my all-time high weight, and I really can't take it anymore. I've been off and on MFP but haven't really stuck with it, and so I'm hoping that joining…

I'm an absolute sugar addict; I've tried multiple times to stop eating sugar and I keep coming back to it. It makes me feel terrible, and so I'm back to quitting. I'm going to take a friend's advice and turn to fruit when i'm craving sweets, for now. Hopefully my palate will readjust quickly.
