Thank you Lisa! {{{{{{{{{{{{{Lisa}}}}}}}}}}}}} I love this! It's my new wallpaper!

And if you look at it for a few moments, you'll see why I like to send them out!

Hugs and, well, you know,

My partner decided to go on a rather drastic diet (from the way she used to eat) and cut out almost all sugar and refined carbohydrates and fast food and is on a 1500 calorie a day mostly meatless diet now. For the first three to four weeks she had panic attacks and thought she was dying, would cry etc. now - about 2 months into it - she is fine - more energy, better sleep, more exercise etc. She believes it was the loss of sugar and just general detox. It was horrible for awhile - like watching an addict dry out -but she is much better now and sticking to her new regine with renewed enthusiasm.

2 months? Ack!!! I sure hope this doesn't go on for that long!!

And if tonight is any indication, it won't! YAY!

Yes, I do intend to stick it out for at least about another month...

Hugs and butterflies,

No - she is two months into it now and has been fine for awhile - the first month or a little less was the worse. Actually she seems more dedicated now because she says she never wants to go through it again. She is very sensitive to sugar - one night last week she decided to have a small cup of cocoa and it made her crash a little - so now she is eschewing sugar and chocolate completely (no valentine's candy at all - not even one thin mint)

Let her know that cane sugar and beet sugar are not the same. I found dark chocolate bars sweetened with beet sugar. I've also been using maple syrup and honey in various recipes instead of sugar. Yeah, not as handy, but nothing else in the diet is anyway.

I had to give my valentine's chocolates away, too
