This story really inspired me and made me think. Made me think I really need to take the time to plan, the rights foods aren't going to fall in my lap at lunchtime. I love all the details and tips. WAY TO GO!

Taztaz and Big Josie - thank you!

Gypsychic and Hurlee - thank you both. It's true that this doesn't happen automatically, but honestly, planning isn't that hard, and it makes staying on plan SO MUCH EASIER. Keep planning and I guarantee you'll find more success than if you didn't plan. Or as some people around here like to say - if you fail to plan, you plan to fail.

Amanda - I hope you're not tiring of this and don't mind another note from a 'gushing fan'. I'm 20 years older than you, and I've decided you're going to be my role model

I think it's wonderfully romantic that you and Sarah took this journey together, even before being married. Moving forward together on something that changes your day, every day - what a wonderful commitment to eachother!

Your story truly shows that changing our way of eating doesn't mean isolation from the so-called real world. You're integrated into your milieu, still entertain but with healthier dishes (I bet guests ask for recipies!), are determined enough that injury didn't stop you in your tracks. It's all so REAL that I can wholeheartedly relate to it.

Many thanks for putting yourself out there and taking the time to share such a well thought out story of your progress. (standing o!)

You guys are all so kind.

The Women's World issue was the Oct 31, 2007 edition. I have a copy around here somewhere, but I don't think you can see it online.

And no, I'm not sick of it. It's really nice to know that I can help people!

Wow! So many posts since I was last here:

Gale - putting your mind to it is SO IMPORTANT! 3FC was a big help in this as well.

Raspberry - Thank you!

Babble - 3 years in and "inspiration" is still totally strange for me! But I'm glad to help anyone I can, however I can.

Kellbell - Again, even though it's weird, I'm so glad to be of whatever help I can. 3FC helped me so much, I could be here helping folks out forever and still not pay back the debt I feel to this place.

Theox - Thank you!
