Default Crochet - My Weight Loss Afghan

I crochet - all the time. After making afghans for everyone else in my life, I'm finally making one for myself. It's made up of squares, each square representing a lost pound. I just added my 20th square Hopefully I'll be adding more soon.

That's a fantastic idea!

Imagine that you're doing great, losing weight, feeling better than ever, thrilled with yourself, hearing compliments from friends and acquaintances---and then it happens! Despite all your good intentions, you're mightily tempted by a food you're not supposed to have. What to do? I'll tell you this: You'd better have a strategy ready!"

don't mind a bit - please post pictures! I've always wanted to quilt, but my house is so full of yarn, it would be hard to start buying fabric
