I can't imagine how difficult it is to follow a weight-loss programme when at the same time you have to provide the meals for a family. All of you in the same situation have my admiration. It makes me realize how much easier my own situation actually is.
My only "disadvantage" - and I wouldn't really call this a disadvantage :lol: - is my boyfriend who is a divine cook, and at the same time does such a lot of sports, weight-lifting exercise and hard work that he can eat absolutely everything without gaining any weight. I gained more than 20 pounds since I met him a little more than a year ago and sometimes feel utterly flabby beside his perfect body (imagine da Vinci's Vitruvian Man
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vitruvian_Man and you get the idea).
Anyway, this topic really helps to get and keep me going and I decided to drop wine as drink (plus any other alcohol, of course) and only allow myself some when we have guests or are invited.
