Thursday (posted by Angie)

Hey Mom... I'm glad that you learned how to post your thoughts on here. Thanks Jess and Matt for helping out :)
Lorna.... I'm glad that you are making strides with your exercise and meeting people to boot. That sure makes is easier.
I watched some shows last night on TLC about Gastric bypass surgery and morbidly obese people. I ended up watching for 3 hours and was so struck by these peoples plight in life. One person who had lost a huge amount of weight and then regained it mentioned about how alcoholics and drug addicts can choose not to take the drink or drug again... but a food addict still has to eat every day. Imagine telling an alcoholic he can only have one drink every day or a drug addict only one hit? It is a very tough course for sure as a food addict still has to eat. But as we have learned here it is what we choose to eat that counts. Is it genetics or just willl power? I really wonder sometimes.
Have a great weekend everyone... love, Angie
