Dear Calicocat:
Hello and thanks for your tips. I am sure you are right about the eat when you are hungry thing....I did get very nervous about that dinner party, and the weeks are stretching ahead around the holidays that are danger-filled. Thursday night I am cooking for others and am going to focus on the chicken and broccolli part, and have some cheese and fruit and coffee for desert, and make cous-cous for the others, which I know I can pass on if I get enough chicken in to me to begin with. I saw an article in the paper today and eating fat and getting breast cancer, which was quite scary to read as well....but my goal at the moment is to get thin, and then presumably I can move off to eating less bad fat.... Do you guys ever worry about these things? I know it didn't when I was going strong on Atkins the first time round -- I wonder if my worries aren't ways of just letting myself off the hook...anyway... I admire and am inspired by your confidence and success so far!
Ruby J..
