I don't know if anyone here watched the show Big Medicine on wednesday night, but if you did you saw the story of a lady named Kim Valera who is a school principal in Houston Texas. she has lost a lot of weight and last night the story was about how she had plastic surgery to remove excess skin. Kim is a friend of mine. we went to high school together. she, like me, has battled her weight her whole life. when i saw her last night i was so excited for her. she is doing amazing things in her life ...2 Weeks In

my question is this...should i eat some empty calories to get me to the number? should i have some junk food and simply limit th...

Thanks to all of you for your support and kindness. i am just simply amazed that i can type a few thoughts in this box and some very fine people are not only going to read them, but take the time to actually respond with nothing bu...
