Why thank you Ian, that often does cross my mind that I had that much to lose, I really let myself go the last 5 years and had a tough few years (still do but my determination is strong) and yes I will be drinking a bottle (not two though) of some red merlot (my favourite and I do like Santa Rita 120), thanks for the do chara (for all you UK members do chara means your friend and yes it is Irish or gaelic as they would say in the UK)
Storm, well done on your loss, that is going in the right direction, remember slowly wins the race and also slower is better because then you will get used to the new healthy eating plan and have much better chance of staying at target, keep it up
Amanda, I'm full of admiration with what you just said, you know you are going to go over your syns but your prepared for the consequences and I always say life is for living, hope you enjoy
