Ha. I'll definitely cross my fingers for ya, because I am a wee bit of a germaphobe! :-) But considering as kids we ate anything anywhere even when we were all grubby and gross, and we survived, I am thinking that much of our cleaning neuroses are probably not entirely well-founded. That said, I have to struggle not to scrub the heck out of my apples! :-)
Totally didn't mean anything by "consumed," just chose that word for lack of a better one. I just know that every day you post the weight (which is totally cool, and yes, we both agree on that article you included here about being totally conscious of where we are with weight and body and eating), but you just generally have an emotional response (albeit a brief one that ends by the end of that sentence!) to what looks like a very tiny change in the weight. I didn't realize you had a history of a "wall" at this weight, and trying to break through it is a goal, so I understand that. I do think, however, that our bodies find a weight that they like and really try to take a "stand" to not go below that weight. Maybe this is that number for you. Or maybe not, just a thought! :-)
Anyway, it wasn't meant with judgement, I just wanted to remind you of something you already knew, which is that even if YOU control every aspect of your life, your body will still do whatever it wants in the end! Fun, right? ha
Enjoy the blueberries. I've been freezing them and then throwing them in my hot oatmeal for added flavor. Yum!
Ciao!
