Miles from Nowhere. Barbara Savage

few months of the trip. I should have cut down on my food intake as we came across Wyoming and South Dakota; but unfortunately, my appetite never changed, and I continued to eat just as much as before.

      It wasn’t until Minnesota that I realized the time had come to start dieting. I quit eating bread, sweets, and milk altogether, and I cut down the size of my meals. For the next month, my lunches consisted of a small container of yogurt and some granola. The diet kept me from gaining any more weight, but I didn’t lose any either, and I was always hungry. Larry, however, never gained a pound. No matter how much he ate, he burned it up.
