lost another half a pound though.

did not have lemon cream cake with white chocolate last night.

may treat herself to half a slice if she gets her chores done today.

it's a relaxed visit.

When asked about her diet, Audrey Hepburn replied, "I eat everything, but just a little bit."

not been around much lately either ...enjoy your visit

Audrey Hepburn was anorexic after her trauma of nearly starving to death during the Siege of Arnhem during WWII...
