This forum is a great place to be - I too find it addicting and although I don't post every night, I do read what these fine, support people write daily. I too, have given myself to the universe and I too, feel that this is my final time. You will reach a place that you will not want the strawberry ice cream and think "what's wrong" - nothing is wrong, your just changing your habits. It's a great realization when that hits ya! Remember, your in control of YOU! Best to ya!
I keep a fat picture in my bag.. with my wallet.. so when I want bad food... I go for my wallet.. and there it is.... keeps me from buying something..
Yeah I find a fat pictures works well, it keeps you motivated to keep going, saying daily mantras (I approve of myself) also help me and I have 65kgs on my vision board so I'm determined to conquer my bad habits this time, its about life style change I believe that fully. I want to eat like I have been these last two weeks becasue its a habit not because I have to... how wonderful that day will be.
