I understand it is painful, but I have always struggled with my weight fluctuating and I am to blame for my girls growing up in a house of a weight conscious person. My girls have always been skinny,but they eat and eat and eat, so I worry that they don't put on weight. So I worry that they could so easily fall down this route and I watch them to make sure they don't.serendipity_vivhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07156013023056026525noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6416388930682401137.post-26993323019314767112009-08-12T22:49:15.331+10:002009-08-12T22:49:15.331+10:00I liked Speak and I'm looking forward to other...I liked Speak and I'm looking forward to other books by her, but after reading that first quote you put up, I think I'll pass on this one.
