He is 79 now. He has served over 8 years of his 10 year sentence. I have thought of him often and I am so glad he is getting out. edie

Yes I understand. I had anger about this at first. I had to step back and take everyone for face value. I do get treated differently now by strangers. I just try to be gracious and say thank you. I am not a non person now. I felt invisible sometimes before. I don't know how many clerks I would have to remind "I was next" when they would skip over me to a normal size person. EVERYTHING HAS A GOOD AND BAD SIDE. Edie

The percentage I was worried about was my weight going up. I knew with my appetite I was going to be 280 lbs in 2 years. 300 lbs in 2 more years after that. Those percentages scared me. My knees were getting very weak. I could not walk fast enough to walk with friends. At 265 lbs it took me 35 minutes to walk 1/2 mile. NOBODY wanted to walk that slow. edie

Yes on the spicy. You have to take it real real real slow and see how your new tummy takes it. My have to use less of my fav cajun seasoning then before. edie

You need to eat some carbs. Sorry I am so blunt. your diabetic band sister, edie

I could eat a stoffers individual meal. Mac and cheese was my fav. After fill I could only eat half. They became a waste of money. I suppose I could have nuked them again. edie

I ate a lot of Special K Protein meal bars on my way to goal. Not the snack bars the meal bars. edie

I am in my sweet spot. I can eat 1/2 cup. I think it really depends on what the food is. We ate mexican the other nite. I had 2 chips with salsa, a sliver of steak about 3 inches long, spoonful bean,and spoonful of rice. I can eat 2 saltines slathered with cream cheese comfortably. A third saltine pushes it. edie

I kept mine at around 1100. edie

I just used plain ol Carnation Instant Breakfast meals. They are just plain good. I still use them. edie

Jacob is the boss according to Ben. I think I have that right. Or Ben wants everyone to think Jacob is the boss. Ben wants to be in control . I love this show. edie
