Buckie: that is too bad about your parents. My parents are not together. The only difference is that they have been divorced since I was 6. So it is pretty much all that I know. I can't even imagine being an adult and having my parents come to me with that information. :?: At least she feels that she can talk to you about it. All you can do is be there for them. But it's hard on you kids too. Hang in there!

Thanks everyone for your input on Curves. I really didn't like my results from the weighing and measuring. But at least it will give me something to compare to as I progress. As much as I did't like it, I'm anxious to see where I will be in 30 days. it wasn't even the weight though that scared me. It was the Body Mass Index...YIKES! That def. put things in perspective for me. So again, thanks for all of your support.

Thanks everyone for the cravings tips. This is the first real cravings problem that I've had.

Sweet tooth - Thanks for the water tip! I'll have to try that. I'm into changing reactions to impulse behaviors so I will have to give it a try. A convertable? Cool! That man is a keeper! I'll say a prayer for your tests.

Buckie - Sorry to hear about your parents. Maybe they will find a way to work it out. I'm in the middle of a divorce right now and my 7 year old and I are staying with my parents until the divorce is final. My parents weren't getting along very well either when we first got here. Having my DS around has helped them focus on better things.

Barb - thanks for the pepper idea. I just stopped and got some cilantro to make the mayonaise. I love the red peppers rolled up in the lettuce dipped in the mayo. Yum!

Hope everyone is doing well!
