I would like to thank each of you for your thoughts of encouragement and advice. I can relate to every comment and hope to implement some, if not all, of your suggestions. My daughter came home tonite with a chocolate/almond bar that she had purchased through school. She gave it to me and what did I do?? That 's right. I ate the sucker. I can't believe it did it. But, I have to tell you, it did taste really good!! I won't need chocolate like that for a long time. I truly believe that LC is the way for me. I LOVE to eat, but the only time I feel satisfied is if I'm eating LC. By the way, I work as a flight attendant, and I am constantly being judged not only by myself (the worst) but also by my peers (second worst).

Many, many thanks to you for all of your thoughts and encouragement.
