With hopes for health, Meghan >> Meghan your letter made my day (insurance woes) much better. Your quite a bit younger than me (I'm 44) and I've had a lot more days of the many choices and yes i loved them all at the time (guilt got me afterwards) There have been many a steak and loaded baked potato in my day (I did say loaded didn't I) with EVERYTHING Lord have mercy how wonderful that is, I love dorito's too and chips of any kind, sweets mean nothing to me. I am in that High fat and more fat range. As Emeril on Emerril Live (the cooking show) says: Pork Fat Rules. LOL LOL LOL I am praying that I get to have this MGB so I can hopefully be free or at least a little more in control of my food, so until that wonderful day comes I too shall indulge in the steaks that my favorite restaurant has that calls my name when I walk in. The grocery store has Isles to that talk to me too when I stroll in. I swear they say " Cathy now come on and buy me, you know you want to, you know you think you need me, so just go ahead this one time, we won't tell anyone. " LOL LOL LOL I know that this really isn't that funny, kinda of demeaning to myself, but a little humor can go a long ways on a rather bad day!!!

Guest guest Posted June 19, 2000 Report Share Posted June 19, 2000 Meghan, I am doing the same thing. God help me if I don't get to have the surgery for some reason.
