Don't they say that everything we need to know we learned in kindergarten?!? xoxoxo 

Ruth - lots of truth to that! 

I went back to my food diary where I lost weight last year and did that. It does help. So.. Mr Sullivan tho't you talked too much. I did it for chewing gum in class. Now days the kids write. I will not make my sandwich look like a gun.... Enuf of that... I just made some Eggplant Chips that a member had posted a couple of years ago. Wow are they good. It's hard to stop eating them, but when I posted the snack they aren't as bad as I tho't they would be. This is the first time I've never cooked eggplant before. Kent Altena on youtube does an eggplant Parmesan but he fries the chips and these are baked. He layers the eggplant after cooking and adds cheese and sauce. I'm going to give that recipe a try soon.  

HA HA HA - were you a big talker in Mr. Sullivan's class? It is often hard to self-motivate which is why I always return to FS. We struggle to do it alone so here is a friendly Buddy push...like the ones you give me when I am stuck! 

Dboza - baked eggplant chips might just hit the spot! Thanks for the suggestion. BTW - my Mom had this poem - "The gum chewing girl and the cud chewing cow, look somewhat the same yet different somehow. What is the difference? Oh, I see it now. It is the intelligent look on the face of the cow!".  

Your mom is a riot. Too funny. I went back over my diet from when I began and before I came to FS. Going to try to use those stats again. I admit that I have upped my portions of food. Going to blame that on changing diets and keeping the same portions but switching from low carb to calories, etc. It's tough Buffy. I understand.  

HCB - Could never understand how they could group a bunch of girls together in one room and expect us not to talk? What did they expect? BTW - thanks for being my Buddy - we'll get through this together!  

ClassicRocker - Great idea to go back and analyze - and another great reason for keeping track. I have to watch both carbs and calories. It is a lot of work but worth the efforts - in the rare event that I actually stick to it! BTW - Funny how it accidentally worked out that we are starting over together. Thanks for the encouragement.  

We can do this Buffy. I am motivated now. And having you with me makes it all that much more meaningful. Women on a mission. :~) 

Rock On Classic! 

Morning Buffy..Sorry getting on here so late...was busy yesterday..I know I need to cut back on the carbs..I did much better then...it was hard when I had to make sandwiches for our lunch while working at the old home place...I have no excuse for the other 2 weeks..:O)..We can get this done...I know we can...:O) 

Buffy- That's funny. Some do chew with their mouths open. Then they do look a bit like a cow. And I used to hate gum poppers. Not blowing bubble poppers... maybe because I could never do it.  

Hope the regrouping and list-making went well! :)
