I guess it comes down to do you want to be healthier/skinnier or do you want _________. Like Lori Bell, I tend to have to give it up totally. I am an all or nothing person with an addictive personality. I only realized this about a year ago. I thought I was in control, but in reality, I allowed food to control so much of my thoughts-- so, really the food was really in control..... and I didn't like that (being an Alpha female). I am not perfect, but I am getting better.

Agreed! Although sometimes, I`ll still want the latter these instances are becoming less.

As I lose weight it becomes an even stronger: "Would you rather have _____ and be fat again or would you rather just leave it and continue to lose? Is the short term pleasure of __________ worth the long term unhappiness of being overweight?"
