I had a fork in my hand... worse things crossed my mind.

I've been wrestling for two and a half years to get rid of the weight. The first 30 were lost by doing it the hard way, the rest (when "regular" diets stopped working) after I started atkins about a year ago. I'm still trying to break through a major stall caused by the combination of quitting smoking last winter and quitting my physically active bartending job when I could no longer get a caregiver for my son, who has cerebral palsy. Although I get my "weight training" in by lifting him.

I got my training in not bitch-slapping the truly deserving while bartending, and I have some ex-sisters-in-law that should have houses dropped on them to practice on!
