		<description>Love Debbie&#039;s characterization of herself as being a Soda Whore!  That&#039;s me all over.  For some weird reason, I love any healthy food that someone else makes, but am singularly incapable of creating healthy food on my own.  Why do you suppose that is?  It&#039;s a real conundrum!

		<description>Ha-larious.  I love the opening of this blog Rebecca!  Just adore it.  I can&#039;t tell what kind of frame I&#039;d be...  I think I might be a smig like the Kitchen Aide my mother in law gave us for our wedding present...  There waiting, just waiting to be used, accessed and put to good purpose but also something that I just cannot seem to get off that damn top shelf in the kitchen...

		<description>Living in one of the healthiest cities in the country I have had to conform.  When we go out to eat, fried veggies are not on the menu.  I have had one &quot;heart event&quot; and that has brought the need to be healty to the forefront.  I will admit that, after a very long walk on a hot, hot day, a frozen Snickers bar hits the spot.

OH and you have to find the right whole wheat pasta -- look for dream fields .. it is awesome!</description>

		<description>HI Rebecca,
I found you from Debra Schubert&#039;s blog and so glad I did. I so relate to this blog, except, unlike you, I&#039;ve been overweight most of my adult life. Tried every diet known to mankind and always put the weight back on. I&#039;m 5&#039; 3 1/2 and weighed 184 pounds, so I seriously needed to get healthy. Three years ago I hired a nutritionist to teach me how to eat. And I&#039;ve kept the weight off now for 2 years. I indulge in sweets every once in awhile, and I do eat whole wheat pasta - there are ones that don&#039;t taste like cardboard. But heck, if I looked like you, I wouldn&#039;t worry.
Karen Walker

		<description>Good luck with the healthy eating! I love my fast foods and my chocolate.  I do exercise on a regular basis, but I hate to say it is mostly so I can indulge!

		<description>I totally feel you but umm, I LOVE whole wheat pasta! What kind are you buying? 

As for the rest of it? I never thought I&#039;d be on a &quot;diet&quot; but the tumor forces me to be so.. No chocolate, no red wine, no processed foods and no Diet Coke. Unless we go out to eat, I don&#039;t eat any of those things.

I miss my diet coke so much :(
