OK, for about two weeks now, things have been great. I've lost around 5lbs. But now I'm in THAT faze. This is usually were it all goes down hill. I knew it would come, and I'm prepared. Its that faze were you just wanna pig out. Everyone around me eats what ever, and I am sooooo tempted. I won't give it though!!!! The problem is, I do great with eating all day long, but when supper comes, I wanna eat what every one else eats. Well, most of the time I can but not as much . Yesterday every one was having grilled burger patties and brown rice. The burger would have used up all my calories, so I just ate the rice. I could have had chicken, but I eat it EVERYDAY. Either for lunch or supper. To night is beef stew (one of my favorites) I plan to have a small bowl stew and a surviving of self control.

Working out is going great. Thats never a problem.


I'm hanging on, and I won't give up or in

Good for you! I hate the temptations of others eating "Normal" food. My DH works at Burger King, and he comes home and smells like burgers, and sometimes brings home stuff...and I'm trying so hard to resist....but lately I've been so bad, and think I've gained back the weight I lost!

Stay stong girl...

Hang in there! try filling up on healthy foods, but stuff you really like, maybe fresh starwberries sprinkled with Slenda or fresh pineapple. If your full you wont want everything else! Keep going, you can do it!

You know you have the right attitude. I like how you don't deprive yourself but know you just have to eat a very small portion - you are also able to weigh if it is worth it or not against how much you want it. I agree chicken gets boring, have you considered some other protien? I am a big fan of grilling. Sometimes when I am bored of chicken I take pork chops, cut all the fat off, rub some seasoning salt on them and throw them on the grill...they are very good and good for you. Maybe some new easy recipes are in order (would hate to have to cook seperate for myself so I know easier said than done) We all go through this phase, sounds like you are well equipped to win the battle

I'm a big fan of pork Tenderloin....it is great on the grill!!! Very lean and so moist and good! YUM!!!! I'm getting hungry now!

Hey Amanda,
If you find yourself feeling tempted by the smell of fast food, try renting "Supersize Me" if you haven't already seen it. Its a fabulous look into the evils of fastfood. I bought it just so i could watch it once in a while to remind myself why i dont eat fast food anymore. (just don't watch it when you're hungry, sometimes it backfires!)

I've seen "Supersize Me" and the sad thing is, I wasn't grossed out by it at all...it didn't have that effect on me I guess... Everyone I know was like "Never again will I eat fastfood...". ARGH!!!! Why can't I be normal with things like that! Haha!
