Hi Cheryl! <b>Congratulations</b> on your weight loss so far.

I miss bananas - but I don't miss being starving-with-a-capital-S 45 minutes after eating one. I used to have a banana with cottage cheese for breakfast, and my stomach would be growling on the way to work.

I can see how fruit can work for folks whose metabolism isn't too messed up. Fruit on an empty stomach would probably send my blood sugar through the roof, then back down through the floor.

Excellent advice on plateaus. I think too many people get too hooked on why they're not losing weight as fast as they'd like to be: well, it's something we're not in total control of, and sometimes, there's just no explanation. You just have to let your body heal itself on its own time. The weight didn't appear in a number of weeks, so it's not going to DISappear in a number of weeks.

Have a good weekend!
