Becky,

I still can't get over the shock of how much I used to
eat, and it's been over two years. There's no magic to
this system: eat less and lose weight. Be patient,
because it's slow; but be confident, because it makes
such obvious sense. The only trick is sticking with
it, and the best way to stay motivated do that is to
consider the alternatives. You might think that,
living in a town so justly famous for its cuisine,
you'll have an especially hard time, but as I'm always
mentioning, I find no s enhances my enjoyment of food,
so I'm optimistic for you. Besides, it sounds like
your (and most people's) troubles are more in the junk
department than "cuisine."

Best of luck to you both,

Reinhard
