Dateline Chicago -- Shoppers at a northside grocery store gasped in disbelief as a local woman went on a manic rampage Wednesday night. "Polenta! Hummus!" the Junoesque patron was heard shrieking as she threw item after item into her cart. The manager was asked to intervene when the woman was observed writhing in orgasmic delight while fondling a tub of cottage cheese. "Clearly deviant behavior," he observed with a sniff. The wayward shopper had only three words to explain herself: "Mushies start tomorrow."

LOL!! Have a good time!! Take it slow, though; your body may not be as ready as you are to eat more solid food. (Of course, by now it may be hankering for steak!)

Enjoy!!

Zoe, what a perfect description! LOL! LOL! The first refried beans and red sauce were out of this world for me! Ah, the simple things in life! Enjoy! Just don't eat too much, or you'll pb.

I had one plain scrambled egg this morning, with half a mushy banana topped with a teaspoon of Peanut Butter. Heavenly! My stomach isn't very hungry yet, but after two weeks of Jello and yogurt smoothies my brain has been craving salty stuff. I bought some gooey shrimp dip with microscopic pieces of seafood; it really takes the edge off those salt pangs. Of course I can't dip anything into it except my finger, but it'll do for now.

By the way, I'm finally on the other side of 250. It sounds silly, but it's a big milestone for me. (I have friends who would be mortified to weigh as much as 150!) I can almost imagine being under 200 again... look out world, here I come.

Like Gail said, "Isn't it funny that we enjoy revisiting the pounds on the way down that made us so unhappy when we reached them on the way up!":)
