Divorce . . . it helps you lose weight. I am single again after a 5 year marriage. I have a lot of time to focus on myself and it is nice to do what I want. I have not been following any specific diet as of late just trying to make smart choices. I love food and I love to eat so I use excercise to help me lose weight. I prefer to work out more to eat some of the so called forbidden foods. I have figured out that when I make certain foods off limits that's all I want to eat! My current diet is a combination of French Womend Don't Get Fat by Mireille Guiliano and vegetarian eating. So far it's working and I feel great.
