Anthony, I tried a couple of these ideas, and they're really good! I especially liked the Rocky Road snacks. What can I say, I'm a kid at heart.(smile)

Hi Mattie,
ReplyDeleteIt is always so nice to hear from you. I appreciate your kind comments, and, I'm so glad to know that I have been able to make a difference. Your confirmation is what this is all about. In fact, take a look sometine on my website at http://www.medicalnutritiontherapyservices.com . There you will find, on the "about" tab, the struggle of a woman that was a former patient of mine. She lost 50#'s in the photo's and press release photo article. She later reached the milestone mark of 100#'s. The hospital that I was working in bavk then, approached and asked to do a story. We all share a common bond: it's just one-step, daily, a little at a time, to reach our goals. Change happens slowly; however, the effects are everlasting, when things are done slowly, too. She started slowly and making gradual changes over time, and trying things, like you have. The reason I do this blog is for you--the reader-- and the others like you that share your feelings and ideals. Again, I'm glad to know I've made a difference and I appreciate your enthusiasim and readership. We'll talk again soon. :)
Sincerely,
Anthony
