Does your grandma live with you? It's harder when you have more people living in the house. Either everyone has to be on board or the person dieting has to have crazy will power. Luckily for me I don't see candy as a temptation. Even as a kid. My dad has a crazy sweet tooth and we always had easy access to sweets, chocolate and ice cream especially. So I became "meh" about it. Salt on the other hand.... my mom has high blood pressure which I thought was something heavier people got. Not so. My mom is 4'11" and 95 lbs. Her doctor always told her to cut back on salt. So needless to say, I hated her cooking. My brother and I were so craving salt all the time we would take the salt shaker into the closet and shake salt into our palms and eat it just like that. Even now, salt is my weakness. Though I know when something is TOO salty. Her cooking was just plain bland.

I don't have an exercise routine. I only walk the dogs and in the summer I swim. I hate gyms. I get anxiety in there. And most of the people annoy me. We have season passes to the water park here and we go in the wave pool. When the waves are on, I run in against the waves, or hold myself up on an inner tube and do sort of like leg lifts against the current. Then when the waves are off (I think for five mins) tread water the whole time.

Wondering why ribs make you sick? Is it bc too much fat on them? If you cook them long enough most of the fat renders off.
