So as I say my farewell to food for the next ten days, I am left with a sadness that I just don't know how to deal with.  I eat when stressed.  I eat when sad.  I eat when happy.  I use food emotionally.  I am ready to eat healthy and not let food control who I am.  However, I think this is going to be harder than anything I can imagine.  

And a personal message to my best friend: You are my rock and without you I would not have made it this far.  You are always there for me no matter what time of day or night.  I love you with all my heart.  Thanks for being my much needed shoulder. You have opened my eyes to the possiblity that I matter and that I am worth something.  That I am much more of a person that I give myself credit for.  For this I will always be in your debt.  Smooches!

Once last thing...to the bitch at walmart.  It's none of your business what I buy.  Stop commenting on my items.  Why do you need to know why I am buying flintstones?  For all you know, I might have 15 kids at home needing vitamins and jello...
