The other night we had a few friends over to watch movies. Usually I’ll make a snack, but this time I just didn’t feel up to it since even the tiniest whiff of food sends my into a food craving frenzy.
Our friends came to the rescue and offered to bring the bites. Not [...]

With a full week under our belt, just how are our belts fitting? The results have been quite surprising and varied. It seems that my body and Steve’s body have reacted differently to the pie diet.

Pie, Day 2

By: Renee Allwine
It’s only the second day and I am officially sick of pie. It’s getting really difficult, but I really want to stick this out for the full two weeks. I’m hoping that if I can push past this weekend, I’ll make it.
I remember why I stopped eating these pies back in junior high: [...]
