But all of you are my heroes; you guys have a lot of will power

Originally Posted By LOVE-DCA Thank you pixie glitter for telling me that! I thought all cheese was good for us even not in moderation. But then I guess everything we eat has toxins, and is high in something that is only good in moderation. Soy milk is great for us! It’s high in protein, less fat then milk and better for us, specially the organic type with out refined sugar! I drink soy milk , so I guess I’m doing something good. And I already went through my whole thing about cows being treated with RBST hormone, so I won’t do it again, but I believe in it.

The nutritionist is over the moon Of course DH has coat tailed on to what I've been doing (has no choice, I shop and cook and his numbers are better than mine. Always happens that way. A bonus of course is that the less $$ we are spending on meds is more $$ to spend on Disney Yesterday was our DS2's 28th birthday (and meles so after my appointment DH and I said CAKE!!! even though DS was with his wife in another town and not with us DH and I split one piece of pretty good cake in the evening and I felt kind of yucky afterward Somehow Disneyland caramel apples, ice cream and cookies don't make me feel yucky. Thanks for listening! I'm supposed to maintain through the holidays and watch my BP and get back at the weight loss in January.

Originally Posted By amazedncal2 Thanks mele I started in January with a pretty good attitude but this is the first time that I've done the maintaining thing instead of the yo yo thing. It helps that my MD is young, an internist and isn't letting us get away with anything
