Smile Gonna need some extra willpower MOJO....

Yesterday was the first time I've felt hungry OP (day 14). I didn't give in to it as I knew it was just the fact that I was home alone and a little bored.
However, my family is celebrating my birthday tonight (even thought it is really on Sunday) and need to keep my resolve. DH is cooking. The menu is: salad, petit steaks on the grill (even though its spitting snow this morning! lol) steamed broccoli and baked potatoes. No worries there as I despise potatoes and can have everything else. I'm just worried about picking at grandboys ever present cheeze its, or offending my girls if one decides to make me a cake.
Oh, and its also TOM sooo.....
Please send MOJO my way today!
From an original April Fool!

Happy Birthday!!
I will be sending all good mojo your way. You can do this. no picking, you have already past the hardest part of this.. One day of cheating is not worth losing your momentum. You are doing great. hang in there.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!

You're doing so good so now is not the time to slip up! Those cheeze its (which my DH eats everyday!) will be around after you hit goal! One thing that helps me is checking out website with clothes I wasn't able to fit into...A good pick was express or jjill and look at the smaller size clothes and enjoy the fact that you WILL get to those sizes! It's just not worth having anything now...it will be there when you are in maintenance and looking HOT!!! I'm in Northern CT (over the MA boarder) and it's yukky today! We'll sure enjoy the spring when it really gets here!!!

Just think of how bad you want this... Look at the nutrition facts.... There is more barbs in one serving than we have all day... Then ask your self is it really worth it?? Be strong.... All of us have been there!!

Thanks for the support! I had tried to respond to one of your posts a few days ago asking where you were. I lived in East Hampton CT for a few years, returned to north central MA for most of my adult life.
Where do you find WF products? I find the IP center is very pricy on them.



CADU: Thanks so much! Your posts always make me smile. I think it's your picture .... I could see you with your head tilted saying "hang in there" like you were here in my living room.

Have a very happy birthday. When you are tempted just remember all of that food will still be there when you are at goal. You will feel so good about yourself when you get through tonight and resisted all of the bad food. Keep your eye on the prize, and enjoy the company because that's really what it's all about, not the food.

Does your family know you are doing the program? You said your girls may bake you a cake. Why don't you make yourself the chocolate cake in the mug so that when they are having "cake" you can have yours as well. I think you will do just fine, put some gum in your mouth while you are around the grandbabies so that you won't be tempted to put anything in your mouth

You can do it Dakin. Just keep remembering how disappointed you'll be in yourself tomorrow if you give in to tempation. You're already well on the way... stay firm. I'm sending major positive mojo your way... and hugs to show my support. Have a great OP birthday evening.

Thank you everyone!
I really think the support I'm getting on this board totally eclipses anything I had when I tried WW.
You guys are what's going to make the difference for me!

No problem!

I've purchased WF online at http://www.netrition.com/. Have you looked at the WF reviews on this site? You should check them out. Though you'll make your own opinions I found I was able to avoid some items based on feedback.

Locally though I've found WF at Price Chopper and Super Stop and Shop. I haven't been to Big Y to look for it there. I'm right outside of Hartford! Small world! I use to work in Springfield. I can't wait for the Big E this year and will happily make that my "fun" day!!!

Do you listen to Rock 102.1 WAQY? Morning DJ's Baxter and O'Brien.
I just heard that O'Brien has cancer!
I love them in the mornings - they are over the top funny, but I can't get the station in my car, it's too far away. They are based in Springfield.

Oh, I don't listen to them on a regular basis...I'm a country girl. Those DJ names sound very familiar...that's sad about the cancer diagnosis...
