I use to say the same thing about rice and beans. I'm hispanic and I'm living just fine without it all. Don't even crave the rice and beans anymore.

It's so funny, because as I continue to slim down, she seems to be moving the the opposite direction, I think she gains a pound for every pound I lose, but of course she would never be able to live on this WOE (Quote: "I'm hispanic and I can't live without rice, beans and tortillas") Whatever.

On another note, everyone in my family is being real supportive
except for one Aunt.
She goes, I don't mean to scare you but I've heard from friends doing the Atkins diet that it doesn't work and 2 people I know have gotten heart attacks from it.
She mad me so mad. I told her maybe it's cause they didn't do the Atkins right and they kept cheating and gave themselves a freaking heart attack.
But then again, this one Aunt in particular was the one always calling me FAT when I was younger.
So I don't expect any support from her to begin with. I wasn't even FAT damn it, I was thin growing up (just see my 1992 picture on the gallery) but since she was freaking Calista Flockheart
then anybody a pound heavier than her to her was FAT!
Funny thing is, she's not all that skinny anymore.
After her son was born 7 years ago she started to gain. After all her talk of, I'm gonna exercise and lose my pregnancy weight, I'm not gonna do what you did and let myself get FAT.
Yeah well, TAKE A LOOK IN THE MIRROR GIRLIE CAUSE NOW YOUR WALKING IN MY SHOES.
Ok, I vented, that feels better.
Take care ya'll,
