it's payday for me too! And I also found out that once I moved away from home how fatty my parent's lifestyle was...and still is.

Yeah, I was just staying with them for three weeks while I taught at a writing workshop, and the difference between the way they eat and the way we eat is just astonishing. We ate out a ton, usually fatty appetizers and martinis... for snacks I would have wheat thins... there were bad desserts everywhere. And the thing is, I know they were just trying to spoil me and make sure I had a good time, but all of the fat was making me constantly sick and since I KNEW they were trying to spoil me I didn't know how to say no. Plus my willpower wasn't at it's peak. Then I came home where all we eat is vegetables, we rarely drink, and a snack is some watermelon or some fat free microwavable popcorn. And of course I've felt a million times better! I'm grateful for that too!

Today I'm thankful for...
* these boards and all of you
* my 2 cats
* my family - they don't fully understand, but they care
* heating pads
* a comfortable bed
* ...with a down comforter
* ...and a laptop 
* the ability to FINALLY see bad-health days as a blessing in disguise (an excuse to lay around and do nothing! yeah!) rather than a curse

I was raised on fatty foods! Fried chicken, bacon, fried eggs basted with bacon grease, homemade doughnuts fried in lard, fried toast, etc., etc. My mother is a great cook....just tooo much fat for my tummy. I don't know how I was able to eat all that when I was a kid. Then when I moved away from home, I ate healthier...and now my body can't handle the fatty foods.

Good for you... and Amen to that! If we don't we'll always be miserable.
