Donna, Cruising has helped me "get over" the I am not wearing a bathing suit mantra. If I wanted to have a good time in the water, I had to wear a suit. Actually, while I don't like being overweight, and I have been almost all my life, punctuated by brief periods of being a size 6 or so, I have come to accept that I just can't be THAT small.

Cyndi, I leave next Monday for the airport a 4AM. I will be just settling into my seat on the plane at this time next week. With all of our dieters heading out, you'll just have to plug on without us here, but, we will be with you in spirit, saying no to 2nds and dessets!
