Love to cook, obviously... I actually love my mother in law and enjoy being married. Have had osteoarthritist since I was 17 and as I have gotten older I have gained weight. Like everyone else it's a struggle. Now I am in the process of taking it off but doing it in a way that I can still enjoy some of my favorite foods. Okay, just not the ones listed below. LOL
