hi, frouf!!!!

melissa, thanks for reminding me of crab salad. i bought 2 pouches of "crab meat" a few weeks ago. i'll use it tomorrow.

OK, so I'm thinking it's impossible for me to eat core. I eat too many points. I mean, look at what I ate. It's healthy, just not all core. And I'm way over 5 pts/day rule that I try to go by. I don't know what to do!

be strong, melissa. you are armed with new recipes and can defeat the old eating monster in you. i'm working at doing the same. we'll get this done. one reason i came back to core was so i could eat till satisfied. archery tournaments are coming up and i can't be weak from hunger. i've had 4 wpa's today. we're all right. we will do better each day.

thank you for restarting core. you know i followed your lead.
