God Bless Huggy and His Wife

August 16, 2000

Huggy,

God Bless both of you......You must love each other a lot. You both

need the support of each other but you also have the support from

your listmates.

By the way I live in a home with my husband and two sons. I'm very

happy to put the toilet seat back down to use it......I'm just

greatful they put it UP to use it.

Whatever works...

She went to the diet class yesterday...she said that she was REQUIRED to

buy a minimum amount of the shake mix, and despite the fact that she

already has 4 full boxes, they made her buy two more (at $35 each)

They say she is doing great - at this point she is about triple the

weight loss that she was projected to be at. Some simple math, and she

has figured that the diet has cost her almost $145 per pound she's lost.

" Now I understand why they say I'm going too fast - they're losing out on

money they could make the longer I stay with it. I asked if I could drop

out and come back - they said I couldn't come back for 6 months, and have

to pay the startup costs all over again. It's a racket! "

She doesn't want to drink all the shakes they tell her to, because her

blood sugar goes up, the more she drinks, the higher it goes...the only

thing that makes it go down is LC. So she is very confused...they're

drumming into her that fat and calories are the enemy, if you're going to

eat any " real " food, the best things you can have are potatoes, pasta and

bread. LC is VERY dangerous! Yet, if she forgoes the shakes, their

BeneFit bars, etc, and has a salad, hamburger, eggs or chicken with me

(and avoids other carbs), her blood sugar is much better. They tell

her that you MUST eat their way, and get mad when you don't.

She also laughs, when at her meetings, the guys talk about how they have

problems with E.D., but now that they're on Viagra they can do again.

Guys younger than me. She says, " Gee, my husband doesn't have a

problem... " These guys say that anyone on any diet is likely to have

problems with E.D. I just laugh...I have no such problem...

You would think more women would feel that way.

I grew up in a house that was evenly divided by gender...the issue never

really came up - if you needed it in a different way than it was, change

it. If you need it down and it's up, put it down. If you need it up,

put it up. End of story.
