Hi strife, I saw a show on the pbs pledge drive last weekend and have been following it, called Eat to Live by Joel Fuhrman. He says if you feed you body lots of healthy foods, you can cut down on hunger. I find I feel hungrier in the fall, I think there is an evolutionary reason people invented fruitcake, ie in order to survive, there is obviously no tasty reason! So this is the time I add walnuts and maybe raisins to oatmeal for breakfast, which I really haven't even been able to look at all summer, so that is my fruitcake replacement.

Aside from that (which kind of blends my theory with his), I am finding his plan very workable, but I am also 59 yrs old and experiencing health and social problems. Congrats on losing the weight! I know it will be hard to kickstart again in the fall, but at least it won't be too hot to exercise or cook. Let's support each other.
