Barbara, this is great! I love food and it is hard not to waver! Remember the 80/20 rule! It really helps. Your visual effects are great and the title is perfect. Well said! Love, Robin (I think need a midnght snack now!)

Oh Boy, do I relate to this. Keeping the bod is a lifetime sentence. Funny. Witty. Real. Thanks for your comment on my Glasses poem, soul sister.

This is a struggle for me, too. I keep a photo of a woman in a bikini on my fridge for motivation. Thank you for the great laugh, Barbara!! By the way, V8 Juice jump starts metabolism better than anything. It's almost like consuming negative calories.
