(In my part of the world, all soda is a Coke) and replacing them with water. <br /><br />- Eating way way way more non-starchy vegetables. I have excellent recipes for kale and brussels sprouts. Kale as a snack food. No, really.

Seemingly, it's just part of the journey. Things that have helped me:<br />- exercise (of course) including Pilates or core strengthening.<br />- Geenen Roth's book "Women, Food and God"<br />- I'm not sure if Splenda is Aspartame but artificial sweeteners are not good and do not help with weight loss.<br />http://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2009/10/13/Artificial-Sweeteners-More-Dangerous-than-You-Ever-Imagined.aspx<br />- learning to accept the changes, love myself as I am, working on my spirit vs. obsessing over the physical.<br />Take care!Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08334263805312884902noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7863232418644698077.post-30000318886812323102010-09-25T11:40:21.928-04:002010-09-25T11:40:21.928-04:00I think I figured it out.

If we're really smart and good, our heads fill up and if any more knowledge and wisdom were stuffed in there, our heads would quite literally explode, showering everyone in the vicinity with knowledge and wisdom and tiny bits of bone. So our knowledge and wisdom begins to be stored in other places, like our mid-sections.
