Realize an update is in order. 
April 2011 is my last post?  Gee whiz.  Sorry about that.
So...just over 2 years later, I realized I am at 26 months of eating the ME way.
I'm down a total of 36 pounds from my highest weight.
I feel good.  Still not where I want to be, but not where I was, which is WONDERFUL.
I eat well and healthy, am nearly grain- and dairy-free, and drink 3 liters of water a day.

Just wanted to check in.

If you are tired of the dieting and weight loss game, you should really check out www.metaboliceffect.com, read the book, or talk to me about it.  

Yes, I still crave chocolate.  Yes, I still eat it.  And it is Goooooooooooooood.   :-)
