Hey there. I have done okay the past couple of days, not following the plan 100% but keeping very close and when I did eat stuff that was not on the plan I had very tiny, tiny amounts. ie my husband had some potato chips and I had 2, honestly I stopped at 2! Just little things like that and not all day long, just a couple of times during the day but I can't say that I followed the plan 100% but that's okay because you have to learn to deal with all kinds of situations like that and if I am able to stop at 2 potato chips then I think that is a good thing. So I'm down 2 lbs already and I'm very pleased with that. Take care all, thanks for your support!

Woo Hoo, Jen! 2 pounds is a great start!! Great job staying on track! :bravo:

:cb: GO JEN GO! 2 LBS is great! :)

Disaster, complete disaster day. Won't say anymore, it is too depressing to even think about. Tomorrow is another day and overall I'd say I've done well. I won't let this upset get to me and ruin the rest of it. I can do it, I know I can!!

Jen - Don't let yourself get depressed over 1 Day! You're doing awesome! If it makes you feel any better, I had a medium movie theater popcorn with butter :eek: to myself last night... And you're right, today is a NEW day. As long as you're on track 90% of the team... you'll be fine!!! :grouphug:

Jen, don't worry about it, sweetie.....just turn the page and move forward from this moment. You don't have the power to take back the wrong choices you've made, but you DO have the power to remember how badly they make you feel when you're faced with them next time. Jen, you're WAY too smart, and you want this WAY too much, to let one stupid day throw you off track. You're gonna love tomorrow, I just know it. :grouphug:

Jen, repeat after me...
"I think I can, I think I can, I think I can" (if the little engine could do it, so can you!!!!)

go knock em dead!!

Thanks everyone for their encouragement. Yesterday was much better than Saturday and today has been even better. I know I can do this!

See Jen - Now what'd we tell ya! ;)

Keep it up Jen - one day at a time!

It's been an okay couple of days, not 100% but okay. I'm going to do another week though on this plan without going to phase 2 because it hasn't been going as well as I would like. Also I am PMS'ing and retaining water and feeling like I want to eat anything in sight!

Jen, whenever you want to eat, drink water instead. Just repeat to yourself what you already know, "It's all in my head. It's all in my head." You know it's not actual hunger, and you know you'll feel badly afterwards, so don't give in. Take control, and drink H2O till you float. You can do it!

I don't know if green tea helps anyone else but it does me to curb my appetite. I get diet green tea and it is pretty good. It sure makes you potty alot also. For me it works better than water. I have a really hard time at drinking just plain water so I try to find things that will balance that. Propel from gatorate is yummy too.

Jen, PMS is the devil itself!! Just try to find things to munch on that are healthy choices. I know how hard that is. You can do it!
