Guest guest Posted May 14, 2002 Report Share Posted May 14, 2002 Peggy, I had to smile when I read your post. I too cook for a living and I too always seem to have a weight problem. I always use the philosophy: Never serve what you yourself will not eat. I "sample" quite a bit. I also grew up with the saying "Never trust a skinny cook". I guess that makes me a very good, VERY trustworthy cook. I know that I am changing professions and going back into cataloging in a library. Sometimes the only way for me to get ahold of my self is to take a turn and go in a different direction. I also know that no matter how hard I think I am trying to "diet" I never lose weight until somewhere deep inside myself I REALLY want it. I am always asking myself, if I want to lose weight so bad then why am I not losing weight. Maybe deep down I really don't want it so bad, the time is not right. Anyway that is just my thoughts on the subject of weight loss. Peggy, as a sister "cook", thank you for sharing. I guess I'm not alone in my weakness.

Guest guest Posted May 14, 2002 Report Share Posted May 14, 2002 Hi, Mary, I am a fellow librarian. Interesting that our career paths are crossing. I do still have trouble snacking at work when I'm sitting at my desk. I lost 100 pounds last year. It was the first time in my life that I "dieted". I agree that it only works when you really want it.
