I'm so sorry for your loss, but celebrate with you your healthy son! My favorite thing when staying home with my first daughter was to mindlessly empty a fresh bag of potato chips during her nap. That's what I thought I'd never be able to do without! WRONG! The very idea of having bacon and eggs for breakfast, chicken salad for lunch and REAL dressing on salads with steak and sauteed mushrooms has MORE than made up for it! There are so many things you can eat of this diet and still lose-it's amazing. This forum will really help you, and you can encourage others as well. Good luck! And enjoy that wonderful boy-they grow up so FAST!!! Lynda
