De Nial ain't just a river in Egypt.

We didn't own a scale, and I guess I just didn't realize. Nobody said anything to me (I'd have been devastated to recieve some of the comments you folks have--OMG)

I'd been watching my diet very carefully having come from one wake-up call in Nov. 06: discovering I had GERD and cancer. I began eating basically vegetarian (lots of salads, whole grain breads, pastas and beans) and small amounts of organic lean chicken & fish. Low fat except for EVOO. I was sure I was helping myself back to health.

Then I got on the doctor's scale in June, 07. For the first time in my life, 200 lbs. In reviewing my labs that same visit, my cholesterol was through the roof, I was pre-diabetic, BP 140/90 (I used to be 115/76 all the time!) and my doctor was just all over my case.

I just freaked. That day I came home and signed up for Kimkins. Not the healthiest choice, but at least it got me started!
