As logical as that sounds I guess I am low on willpower. I love eating and I love sweets. The only thing that keeps me from getting huge is that I spend a lot of time walking briskly or jogging slowly. The length of my workout is usually based on how much I ate for the day. Sometimes I have to jog for a long time.

Actually, I'm not sure you are. You're doing something else that's very useful: keeping track of your food 'bank account' and exercising accordingly. We all need to do *something.* I'm far from perfect as well and definitely have a sweet tooth. One of my tricks is to try and make my last meal small -- no seconds -- and satisfy myself with just a few bites of something 'fun.' Oh, yeah, and lots of vegetables.

Ideally, we'd all like to maintain such that we're not looking at an enormous problem. Somehow I have lost about 5 lbs recently, which I'm not going to argue about. I think I have just been really busy, what with taking a class at the university and study sessions doing other things.

Good observations, Ellemm, and congrats on the weight loss. 15 pounds can make a big difference.

For example, I was just reading Dr. Oz's newspaper column for the day, and he was writing about the Type 2 Diabetes epidemic, and what actions we need to take to keep from becoming one more statistic. He mentioned several actions to take -- but one was merely to lose 15 pounds.

I'm not sayin' you personally have to worry about diabetes, but I am saying that what you see as a small weight loss (compared to your friend's big loss) is still one good step toward keeping it from happening.

Anne
