- About You: I have a high stress job, but I do my best to balance that with good food, running, yoga and creative writing. Has not always been that way. At one point in time, I let the desk job and unchecked eating pack on the pounds. Got things back under control and managed to lose 85 lbs.
- Goals: Loose 30 more pounds and improve my yoga practice and running speed and distance
- Favorite Foods: Lebanese food, fresh guacamole, homegrown tomatoes, french cheese, real swiss chocolates and cheesecake

I don't see requiring restaurants to give nutritional information to consumers causing the US to be "nanny state". If you were to evaluate each consumer as they walked into a restaurant and say, "hmmm... you need to loose a few...

Commented on Conquering Emotional Eating: Lessons from Monica Seles
Addiction is exactly what it is. I grew up with an alcoholic mother. My behavior with food is exactly like hers with alcohol, except in one aspect - quitting. She was able to stop drinking and never have one more...

Commented on Fat Fliers: Charge Them or Accomodate Them?
I travel a lot. I have sat next to every kind of human imaginable. I have been kicked by children, elbowed by the broad shouldered, and hit upon by lecherous men. These people can be dealt with; however, there are...
