[acb-diabetics] weight loss

[Dornetta]

Abby, like you I have considered Weight Watchers online also and also like 
you, I get the same response from my doctors "Lose weight" or "It would help 
if you would lose the weight" I do drink lots of water which only makes me 
fill full and intensify my hunger late at night and that emotional eating is 
a large monkey on my back! My "comfort" food is not the typical stuff like 
ice cream, chocolate, etc... my food of choice is fish-preferrably spot fish 
and cat fish. Lol
