Thanks so much for your kind comments, Forevóuare. I absolutely adored Bob - he was so unique and had such a special and precious (and mischievous) personality. What we ended up sharing was nothing short of extraordinary, which is why I wrote the series about him (well, also about Fluffy, one of my other snakes, but mainly it was about Bob and the incredible journey we took together).

Good for you, making all of those amazing changes to your diet! And fasting a lot! I do well with intermitteng fasting - either 16:8 or 18:6, somewhere in that range.

And yes - protein is the tough bit for me, too - and apparently, in my age group I'm supposed to get more of it than ever. Just found that out so oh, great - more of a challenge! Yay! LOL!

I hope you find good alternatives that feel right for you!

Thank you for reading this, and for your beautiful comments! 💜
