Yay! I've lost 56 pounds altogether on this diet!
I've also found that I get a lot of pleasure if I get invited over to a friend's house and bring them something that i don't personally want if I know they will enjoy it, for example I'm not fond of cherries or berries but I'm bringing a pie full of them over to a friend's today, also I bought roomie a bigass carton of mint chocolate chip ice cream, a flavor I don't care for but I'm happy to have him enjoy it. :) To my mind, it's just good manners to bring some food if someone is generous enough to invite you to their party, why not bring food that they'll like but I won't be tempted to break my diet over?
Also happy because I will be buying season 6 of Trailer Park Boys on DVD online later today. And of course still buzzed over getting to see Hugh live. He's amazing.

Did you know, there are studies out that say whole milk is better for you, AND that people who use whole fat diary products on the whole tend to be slimmer than other people? It's a long scientific article. I never eat non-fat because of all the stuff they put in to compensate. Anyway, thought I'd let you know. I find I'm using less milk because it tastes so rich.

I LOVE mint chocolate chip ice cream.

Congrats on the weight loss!
