call your doc as often as you have an inkling to! it's their job!

i think your daughters (and sons) have a terrific role model in their life!

Happy Bandiversary!

I also wanted to say how sorry i am for your loss. that is such a hard thing to deal with, and they say time makes it easier but i'm not so sure. the good news is it seems you were very self aware of the connections between your mood and your behaviors, and that's great.

have fun with the nephew!

I think there is some real truth in here that when we hold up a mirror to ourselves, if we're getting WLS we make poor food choices. I agree with Cassandra tho, organic food and healthful options (vegetarians, vegans, etc) can still lead people to being overweight if portions are out of control. Maybe you're including that within the poor choices - because chronic overeating is for sure a poor choice - but I don't think it's absolutely always the case that McDonald's is at the root of the problem - portion control can be the root issue as well.

(all that said, i don't mean to misrepresent myself. i love fries. i've just decided i love me and the idea of being around for a long time a lot more.)
