Congratulations on 3 pounds, that's pretty impressive, it hasn't been THAT long, two weeks, WOW! Like you, I could eat most anything and not gain much weight, but as I get a bit older, that changes and I have to be more careful. And I can't do much about those love handles.. but losing weight will make the rest of you look good and you will feel good knowing you're eating more healthy food.... well, I do adore you and love you….and wish you the best.

As a matter of fact, it doesn't bother me in the least to stay away from fried foods & other typical 'junk.' I'm perfectly happy with my other healthy foods - sweets are my sole food vice! However, I don't lose weight as quickly as I did a decade ago. Therefore, when I've been disciplined & good for a few weeks, & I've lost no weight or only a single pound, I find that's a very difficult time for me. Basically, I think, "I'm being so good, depriving myself & battling the cravings, and I'M STILL THIS FAT?! Well, @$%* it! I might as well just eat the junk if I'm gonna be fat anyway!" :( Bad times, bad times. I too don’t overeat anything but sweets.
