I have lost more than 50lbs in the past year. I know that I still have quite a ways to go, but right now I am pleased with how far I've come. I wore a 26-28 jean and now I am easily a 22, and those are starting to bag a tiny bit. I haven't really done anything drastic. I still eat what I want, but in much, much smaller portions. Instead of munching on chips or cookies, we have Wheat Thins and Chees-its.

I have noticed that I have problems if I eat anything that is overly greasy. I do get cravings for cheap fast food, but instead of going for a quarter-pounder with cheese, supersized, I do better with a Happy Meal, and even then I don't finish the fries.

I do need to drink more water. I am addicted to diet sodas.

Now that I am no longer walking at work, I need to head back to curves. My backside is no longer a total bowl of jello, and I would like to keep it that way.

Happy Meals rule!

It's true that so many "kids meals" are actually appropriate adult portions. In fact, 30 years ago, those were considered normal adult portions.

Just furthers my argument that increased "regular" portions have largely contributed to today's weight epidemic.

People didn't drink 32 ounces or more of soda at one time. They also didn't chow down on ginormous things of fries, or giant burgers like quarter-pounders, which wasn't even added to McD's menu until 1973.
