    30 minute meals?

    I have tried and tried but cannot force myself to take 30 minutes to consume 4 oz. Call it A.D.D. or no patience but I have even tried eating with a baby spoon. If I am not getting sick is it really that big a deal. i do however wait 30 min before and after to drink. Thanks, Roy

    I have read tons of posts on here and pretty much all of them have been helpful and uplifting. What is the deal about all the suicide questions in the psyc eval? Suicide is the LAST thing I would want to do after losing all the weight and getting healthy. Just wondering.

    I love to cook!

    I have always been a pretty good cook. Learned it from my grandma. Its kind of messing with my head that I cant cook that kind of food anymore for my family. I know that southern cooking is what has gotten me in this position. Feel a little guilty.
