I'm having a wonderful time in Los Angeles. The weather is 1. hotter and drier. 2. than
in England and Americans are friendlier than 3. us. The food is better here; it's not the same 4 as the food in England at all!

Love, Megan.

that tobacco, or even more. I am talking about sugar. When I went to the doctor five years ago, he told me that sugar 6. would
kill me one day if I didn’t avoid 7. eating it. My only chance of long-term survival, said the doctor, was 8.cutting out all sugar from my diet. Before that day, I 9.had never tried to quit anything; 10. however, I didn’t think it would be too difficult. “I have achieved difficult things in my life, much more difficult than that,” I thought. It wasn't true. I didn't know how difficult it was to stop smoking, or drinking alcohol, because I 11. had never been to anything, but when I stopped eating sugar, I realised that sugar is a very powerful drug. I think it 12. would have been easier if I had been addicted to nicotine, for example, instead of sugar. The first few weeks or months I 13.used to dream that I was eating chocolate or cakes, and then I woke up in the morning and my body was crying for sugar. It's been 3 months now, and I 14.have eaten very, very little sugar in that time; only the added sugar that food manufacturers put in some of their processed products, like bread, tinned tomato, etc. I am very happy because I don't crave sweet things any more, and I  feel 15. much healthier and energetic than a few months ago.

The film stars Rosamund Pike, Peter Dinklage, Eiza González, Chris Messina, Macon Blair, Alicia Witt, and Damian Young, with Isiah Whitlock Jr. and Dianne Wiest.

 The film follows a con woman who makes a living as a court-appointed guardian, seizing the assets of vulnerable elderly people, only for her to get mixed up with a dangerous gangster.

I Care a Lot is notable for its colorful supporting and featured roles — Chris Messina as a mob lawyer, Peter Dinklage as a Russian mobster and Eiza Gonzalez as Marla’s girlfriend. But the main attraction is Pike, who doesn’t try to make us like her. She commits to the character’s nature and holds us with her honesty, her intensity and her unmistakable pleasure in getting to play someone appalling.
