CatherineM I really enjoyed reading the article. It was inspirational to me as someone who lives with mental illness, OCD.

I have a BBQ today and don't expect to eat daintily. I always remember that scene in Gone With The Wind when they are trying to get Scarlett to eat before a party and she declares, "I'll do my eating at the Barbeque." I am going to enjoy myself by following my natural hunger signals instead of mentally bringing out the Food Police.

Catherine - I thought the article was wonderful! I liked the photo of you both as well. Why anyone would want to keep two people who obviously love one another apart is beyond me.

Anette, your post really caught my eye. I'm also losing weight for my daughter to keep her on track. As for your daughter that wants to quit just keep on track yourself and maybe when she sees that you are serious and losing she will want to do the same, Good luck and keep me posted
