I was raised on a farm between Dallas and Fort Worth. Went to school in a 2 classroom country school house through the fourth grade and finished up in the big city of Arilngton. I went to college at TWU. At that time it was an all girl school. I became a Stewardess for American Airlines and lived in Chicago. Came home and married a west Texas boy and raised 3 children. Now we have 8 grandchildren and are retired. I have been on many many diets in my time, and have successfully lost weight each time. I've just as successfully gained weight after each time. Gain and Loose, Gain and loose. I am not a "Yo Yo Dieter". I am an ACCORDIAN! I have enjoyed The Daily Plate site since July 18,2007. I credit TDP with helping me to get a handle on my Diabetes 2 and weight. Love, Grammy
