Thanks for the props! I appreciate the moral support from my fam, it means a lot. It really is tough these days to side step the sugar and icky crap in food, especially while juggling a job, family and actual life. It's easy to just order out and screw slaving over a stove. Whenever I get to that point, I just think of my insurance premiums (and everyone else's) and it's suddenly easier to put carrot to mouth :) . @Emilie, Hey cuz! Thanks for the props!

My ma forwarded me your blog and I must say I've really enjoyed reading over the past & current entries. You are a wonderful writer - honest and true (which is hard to find these days as far as I'm concerned) and I look forward to reading more. I think what you're doing is fantastic - I couldn't agree more about the artificial, chemically altered, and processed everything - it's certainly a struggle these days - I will be trying some of your recipes (with meat though :) and I am also a huge fan of "hide the veggies" and suspect I will continue to be as Charlie grows and learns to despise his broccoli.

Thanks for the well wishes for me too! You're right about the hinting... actually my girl pal has brought it up multiple times and I always say she looks great (and I mean it), but since she brought it up again about losing weight, I mentioned your site and she said something like your story sounds inspiring. :-) Anyway awesome blogs you have going too by the way!

It was one of those things that may or may not happen, but I started it so, meh, who knows! Good luck with your journey Gregory, but I hope you know your girl pal <em>really</em> well; we ladies don't like even being hinted at that we're overweight (><). I'll keep my fingers crossed for you two. Keep me posted! @Gregory, I didn’t know I was planning on writing a book either, actually ^^;.

Second, I did not know you were planning on writing a book! I think that's terrific! I have enjoyed reading your posts on Anime blog along with the other posters, though I do not always comment. Anyway, I have been eating a lot of fast food the past few months and have been wanting to stop too, though it's been so hard/tempting not to. I have noticed that I have put on pounds and well I'm not too happy with that. Your post/blog has inspired me to eat healthier and a girl I'm dating is also interested in losing some weight so I'll share your website with her too. Thanks!

I commiserate with you on being surrounded by fast food and unhealthy habits...do you by chance live in the Midwest too? Thanks for your good wishes, they mean a lot to me!! @Avery, thank you so much! I commiserate with you on being surrounded by fast food and unhealthy habits…do you by chance live in the Midwest too?

But where does one start when the whole of my city is filled to the brim with fast-food heart attacks waiting to happen? Cheers by the way on shedding the last few of the old you --we'll be watching your posts and cheering you on. Yay!

I started out with a goal to lose weight and gained a much needed sense of self. Personal accountability is a beautiful thing! @Patrick, Thanks so much!

You must have had a crystal clear purpose for losing all that weight and accepting all the sacrifice you have to make to break out of that cocoon. One thing that remains is the inner core; a person with a beautiful heart. Cheers to you, to your new and long, happy life. Patrick Rachel,
