But the fact that you resisted it so well is quite amazing, & probably makes you feel able to do anything now. Declining fish is what was right for you at the time, & you were successful! AND you worked out! Wow.<br />The blog layout comment could have been a real opinion, but I doubt it. It's just kind of a dumb comment."Seems interesting" makes me think they've never bothered to read. I never really thought about blog layout--I just read the content.<br /><br />While blog things are being mentioned though, & I know you didn't ask, but the gray background *is* hard on my eyes (instead of white) & I can't expand the screen/letters on my phone for some reason. (Haha it just seemed like an ok time to mention my difficulties.)<br />In any case, I think refusing the fish was what you set out to do and you nailed it. Well done.<br />CAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3126474537687051974.post-25661439543705993712014-06-20T08:18:35.811-05:002014-06-20T08:18:35.811-05:00You to bed tired, but successful.

Another step in making this a life long change.

Don't give it another thought. I like it the way it is. <br /><br />I have a feeling that the commenter was just trying to be ugly and that he (she?) doesn't really think your blog is ugly but wants to be mean to you for some reason or another.that TOPS ladyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08550479679200670967noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3126474537687051974.post-10016056591493407582014-06-20T06:29:08.574-05:002014-06-20T06:29:08.574-05:00What a thought! Having complete control over what...What a thought! Having complete control over what's in your kitchen to eat! No opening the cupboard to get out oatmeal and finding a bag of chips. No lifting the garbage can lid to deposit eggshells and seeing an empty pudding container lying on its side, displaying a picture of its contents (last night). Wow.<br /><br />I had a sudden vision of me racing thru the kitchen with a trash bag...cackling. <br /><br />But, after my little fantasy, it occurred to me that living alone poses it's own kind of struggle. Being the only one responsible for what's in your kitchen...means you are the only one responsible for what's in your kitchen. It's all on you. If the food you need isn't there, well no one's going to show up with a bag of it for you. And...no one would see if you slipped something in that's not on your food plan, either. A secret eater's nirvana...or not.<br /><br />If I lived alone without someone here that I had to provide decent meals for, I'm pretty sure I wouldn't bother to make the kind of healthy meals that you make for yourself. A freezer full of Lean Cuisines come to mind...and worse.<br /><br />Living alone has its benefits, but it also takes a special kind of discipline to do it well. I am impressed with what you're pulling off with both food and exercise. Really, Sean, well done.<br /><br />As far as the blog look goes. Shrug. It looks like a regular guy's blog. The actual layout (one sidebar filled with stuff and a clean space for narrative) is the same as mine. I removed the magnification software I use to get an idea of what the overall blog looked like, and shrug, it looked, as I said, like a guy's blog. I'm pretty sure that hearts and flowers wouldn't bee your style....<br /><br />That comment got me to thinking, tho. I wonder if my blog is hard to read. (Since I only see it thru magnification software, I have no idea.) Next time yo stop over, let me know if I need to fix something for the magnificationally deprived. :}<br /><br />Back to what counts. I want you to know--this post has turned on a light for me. I've seen the difference between a disciplined approach to weight loss as opposed to my own approach which bounces between haphazard and obsessed...sometimes I bounce back and forth several times a day. :} You've shown a light on what a straight path looks like and I am suddenly aware that I've been careening around.<br /><br />Ah, yeah, this is going to be a post.<br /><br />DebAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3126474537687051974.post-87223304992554555252014-06-20T05:02:32.455-05:002014-06-20T05:02:32.455-05:00Love your Blog!!

It is not a matter of "ugly" for me, it is actually a bit hard to read. You obviously have a lot of readers, like me, who don't care enough to stop reading.
