ShineON Not licking the chocolate off your fingers is a HUGE deal!!! Kudos to your DH for noticing. Making cakes, and not being tempted. You have definitely arrived on the fat burnin wagon. You are mentally there.
Speaking of cakes, last night at work I was offered a piece of cake twice by two different nursing floors. Of coarse, I declined in a nice tactful way. Most people I work with are very supportive when they find out I'm making permanent lifestyle changes. The rest are feeders and can't help it. You can really gain a lot of weight at the workplace. I know cause I did. I am stronger than temptation. I am mentally there!
Have any of you tried positive mental imaging? I'm a true believer of what the mind can believe, the mind can achieve. Right before I go to sleep, I picture in my mind what I would look like at my goal weight. I try to go into as much detail as I possibly can. What would it feel like. What could I do with a trim body. How would I carry myself in public, etc. I don't think your body will believe it can be thin if you don't believe it yourself.
Angelhealer There's a recipe for mayonaise in the MRC cookbook. I've tried it once. It's OK. Make sure you use fresh olive oil if you want to try making it. Remember also that pickles or pickle relish have a lot of sodium.
TO ALL THE NEW PEOPLE!!!! Come take a ride on our fat burnin bus.
