I love that song "Nemesis" and frequently go around singing it, to my husband's dismay. Also love watermelon salad! Those books sound insane.

Sixty eight of my seventy three years with weight constantly on my mind. Even during two periods when I was thin (a low of 98 pounds in my 20s and 135-140 pounds in my mid-thirties. The second time, my husband and I went to Diet Center because we didn’t want to look fat in the wedding photos of his older son. Husband lost 70 pounds and I lost 35. Also, I knew losing weight would help if I became pregnant.)

Diet Center was very limited in what one ate, and the routine definitely helped.

I bought the first Skinny Bitch book and the cookbook. Just looked—still have them in a boxed set. Maybe I’ll take another look. 😂

Lara, as always, I am impressed by your honesty and willingness to show vulnerability. And, you are a damn fine writer.
