Reviews"The storyline was pure reading heaven..." - Talia Ricci, Joyfully Reviewed, for Riding Partner "This
novella is an erotic romance and delivers on both counts - it is quite romantic
and is full of some hot bed play." Marina, Cupid's Library Reviews for Revealing
Photos " UNDER HER SKIN is so much more than a wonderful romance, it’s
a lesson in love and acceptance. It is an experience not to be missed."

You know what I'm hungry for? A nice baked potato with real butter and sour cream. Or maybe a taco with real sour cream smeared all over the inside. Yeah, that sounds good. I used to think there were foods I wouldn't compromise on when it came to weight loss. Mayonnaise (Kraft, only please), Sour Cream, and Cottage Cheese (4% A&E Homestyle). Alas, my fridge now contains light mayo, 1% Low-Fat Cottage Cheese, and horror of all horrors fat free sour cream. At least Brummel & Brown's yogurt spread tastes a lot like real butter. Sigh! I can have the real stuff. I just have to budget it into my Weight Watchers points allowance. Which I did quite nicely this week, because I've lost most of what I gained last week. But, there are time when we need the "real" food. I've always said that I envision a future where instead of looking for low-fat and fat-free products, you'll have to look for the fully-leaded versions. Where soda is always diet and the fat and evil things have been sucked out of our food in a reactive cry to national health. I hope not. As individuals on a journey, it's up to us to determine where, and where not, to compromise with our food. Maybe we eat the low-fat, no-fat versions of things, and then in a restaurant we have the real deal. Or maybe it's a teeny bite once or twice a month. Or maybe we simply decide that we can do without them. It's up to us, and the important thing is free will and personal choice. You have to make the decisions that work best for you. Obviously listen to experts, such as nutritionists and your doctor, but if you absolutely cannot stand fat free sour cream, for example, then don't force yourself to eat it. Find another way to cut back and be healthy. As Red Green says, "We're all rooting for you. We're in this together." Hope everyone has a good week.
