Kelly, You have a way with words! I never read anything that long...but the way you write, I wish I was still reading! Of all the foods I can no longer eat, potatoe chips are what I miss the most! Also, you may not know this..but during the whole 9/11 tragedy, the stores sold out of potatoe chips! They are a big comfort food, in your case...a lifesaving food! Well best of luck that you can again enjoy chips & everything else you desire for many, many years to come. (truth be told, I could eat chips-covered with tons of dip...but the weight loss was the only good thing to come out of getting cancer) I enjoy the size 6 jeans more than the chips !!!
