I must say that it was encouraging to hear that others have several different sizes of clothing to deal with the ups and downs of weight. It helped me to get over thinking that I could only wear clothes in a certain size and that if I was a larger size then I was a failure. Not that I want to stay in the larger size!
A couple of months ago I researched the South Beach Diet and found it to be well thought out. While I don’t follow it strictly I do follow the principals and have done well with it. I gained strength and energy to make the trip from Vermont to California for my son’s wedding last month. Talk about the sandwich years though, I had my two teenagers and my mother and stepfather on the same flights. My parents were harder to keep on track than my children.
