Leigh, First, CONGRATS on losing 55 lbs!! WAAAAHOOOOOOO! Second, you're not the only one with head hunger!! I crave peanuts and popcorn, stuff like that because of the chewing. I really miss the chewing! So I have been taking a spoonful of crunchy peanut butter now and then and if the crunch-bug gets to me I munch on pickles. I just make sure I chew them into mush b4 swallowing. Relearning a lifetime habit is very hard. But you're doing it girl!! 55 lbs gone forever!! Keep it up and be happy! HUGS! Carol Percel

lol I love that letter leigh = ) YOu do not mince words ....which I love = ) and I agree with you 100% ...I think a person should have to walk a mile in someone elses shoes before making any comment like that..What should also be pointed out is that 60% of americans are considers obese ...hello ? so if its so easy to push yourself away from the table ..I think we would all do that rather than subject ourselves to surgery ...some people are just so ignorant....LOve you Leigh = ) Paigey

Leigh, GET YOURSELF A BABYSITTER!! You need a break. Anyone would in your position. Do your best to get some time away from the kids. Even if it's only an hour, just take yourself to WalMart or the mall or a park. Don't feel guilty. I totally understand how you feel. You just need a BREAK!!
