: I read Potatoes Not Prozac, well over
: a decade ago and realized Kathleen
: had the solution, I just had to
: follow the steps. For two years I
: followed the program to the zenith
: and the results were all that
: Kathleen promised.

: In 2007, my mother, my husband, and
: even the dog died.. It was a
: terrible year, compounded by an
: operation to remove a 30 pound,
: encapsulated cancer. If I had held
: tight and stayed with the program
: I'm sure the year would have been
: easier to cope with, but instead I
: picked up the cigarettes, hit the
: sugar, and did more that a little
: shopping. Exercise went by the way
: side and I was once more a fat
: emotional mess.

: It took me over a year to come back
: to the program, but I did come
: back to sanity.

: This year, my program is once more a
: mess. A little slip here and
: another there, has brought me to
: the doldrums and exercise is a
: walk for the dog, if the weather
: isn't too cold, if it isn't too
: windy, if there isn't much ice,
: and if I'm not napping.

: Today, I begin again. I had a good
: breakfast, 2 eggs, Ezekiel toast,
: and 2 strips of bacon. Not perfect
: yet. I should have had 3 eggs. I'm
: hoping that participating in the
: forum will be helpful.

: I'm smoking, my weight is up a few
: pounds and I'm in the mist of the
: 'Where is Spring Blues'. But I
: know all these things will ease
: after a few weeks of good eating
: and exercise,

: Thanks for listening.

Wonderful to see you, Sandy. I am delighted to have you back!
