Especially when I "cook for an army" as my father used to say.<BR/><BR/>Testing recipes for the cookbook I'm writing isn't helping either.Ruth Danielshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11173472189049022779noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12516077.post-1125135472010503812005-08-27T06:37:00.000-03:002005-08-27T06:37:00.000-03:00Good heavens Ruth I have been away from your blog ...Good heavens Ruth I have been away from your blog for a while it seems. So I'm starting to read the month of August.<BR/><BR/>I have been thinking in having a naturopath too, as another family doctor with a different approach. Unfortunately don't know anyone that can refer one here in Ottawa, so I might have to go to the yellow pages and try until I find one I like.<BR/><BR/>I also need to lose weight (about 80 pounds) but love food far too much. I was doing well on the reduced portion front, until my back problem hit and I took it as a good reason to basically live on raisin bran and whole milk. I wish eating right were easy.Anahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14804076620255719859noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12516077.post-1123959970679625262005-08-13T16:06:00.000-03:002005-08-13T16:06:00.000-03:00Linda, you are so right.

I wish we could just go to sleep for a few days and wake up thin - then eat whatever we want and never have to worry.<BR/><BR/>Nice fantasy, don't you thinkRuth Danielshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11173472189049022779noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12516077.post-1123946776214583982005-08-13T12:26:00.000-03:002005-08-13T12:26:00.000-03:00I too quit smoking when I realized it was starting...I too quit smoking when I realized it was starting to take over my life. Making decisions like... do I spend the evening at a friends house where I have to go outside on a cold winter night to smoke...or stay home and smoke in the comfort of my own house? That was when I decided to quit successfully, 11 years ago. <BR/><BR/>Now if only we could apply the same thinking to our dieting attempts. Like...if you have to think about whether you'll be seen in public in shorts, bathing suit etc.. (whatever your demons are), instead of giving in to abandoning those clothes ...choose to feel good about yourself and if that means changing your attitude about yourself or changing your eating habits...do it, don't let things like weight or shape stop you from living life! You've only got one after all!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12516077.post-1123876110534716942005-08-12T16:48:00.000-03:002005-08-12T16:48:00.000-03:00Ruthie...I don't know if I'm leaving a message in ...Ruthie...I don't know if I'm leaving a message in the right place(I left another message somewhere else a few minutes ago).<BR/>Can people read my messages to you?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12516077.post-1122920095963397082005-08-01T15:14:00.000-03:002005-08-01T15:14:00.000-03:00This weekend we went to a concert at a casino not ...This weekend we went to a concert at a casino not far from here and (because Toronto is basically smoke free, except on the street and patio restaurants) it was really a shock to our systems when we arrived. Within 30 minutes we had headaches and scratchy throats. You're right, I certainly don't remember how bad it was when I was a contributor.Ruth Danielshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11173472189049022779noreply@blogger.com
