I have a skinny husband, too! And his favorite food is french fries! I was a skinny healthnut when I married him, but I have obviously conformed. The good thing is that I can fix foods we can both eat on this plan, which is not so with lowfat. He needs the protein, and then I just don't eat the potato (sometimes). But I would like to start over with you. We are going to New Year's Eve and New Year's Day parties, so January 2 works well for me too. What do you say? We can detox together. I really want to do this because there is heart disease and cancer in my history. People keep saying, well, you don't have that much to lose. But I might as well if I never lose it and gain like I have been the past few years. I keep telling myself I can't stay here, but then buy bigger clothes, time goes by, and I haven't succeeded. I really want to!
