Sky,

Glad to hear your tooth is feeling better. Having pain is just hard.

Interesting about the product that reduces cravings. I'm so glad it's not a struggle anymore, and I don't get excited and think...this is it! The pill that will cure all!

Hope life settles for you soon, and you feel much better!

: My tooth is much better, and I didn't
: have to take hardly any
: painkillers, which I was greatly
: relieved about. I still need to
: get the crown adjusted, but other
: than that all is well.

: I thought you guys might get a kick
: out of this. I got an email this
: morning from an online store I
: occasionally buy things from, and
: they were advertising a product
: that is "guaranteed to reduce
: cravings" - in "chewable
: bite" form. Interestingly,
: they don't describe what type of
: cravings, though I guess people
: generally pair
: "cravings" with sugar.

: It says the chewables are sugar-free.
: And that you're supposed to chew
: the supplement (it's in bite-size
: food form) before you eat
: breakfast, lunch and dinner. Then
: I look at the list of ingredients
: and it's got 3 separate sweeteners
: in it, including chocolate liquor,
: and a lot of fatty cream stuff
: along with several other
: ingredients.

: It's funny we come up with stuff like
: this (or SlimFast or a hundred
: other products on the shelves) and
: go to great lengths to market them
: as healthy, and in reality they're
: really not different in actual
: substance to a lot of the snack
: food industry's products. And
: meanwhile the real solution, the
: real magic
: "chewable" is the food
: itself, if you know how to do it.

: Anyway, I thought it was funny. I've
: had a rough couple of weeks with
: my food, not being able to finish
: meals, eating
: more-but-much-smaller meals
: because of it, my exercise has
: been off. I don't feel bad, but I
: don't feel well either. Such it is
: with life. Onward to getting stuff
: put back on shelves.

: Cheers,
: Sky
