Flo,

I'm so glad you are doing so well, God has a special

plan for you as you give so much to others. Did you

as for a doggie bag for the other half of the crouton

you could not eat? Isn't it wonderful not to agonize

over every mouthful you eat???????????????? I can't wait

for the feeling, I know i will cry. I dont care what

I eat it can be a carrot and I say......you really dont

need that Judi. I have always said it is just as bad as

being an alcoholic. At least an alcoholic can give

up alcohol and never taste it again......but you can't

give up food for life. Sorry I'm rambling..........

can't wait to be on the other side with all of you.
