Good Morning! Yeah it would be nice to take that little voice in our heads and shut them up once and for all!! Just take things one meal at a time, and keep telling yourself that you can have you cake and eat it too, just not until an S day. God BLess you.

CatholicCajun

WE CAN DO THIS! Yes we can!!! I think the book is going to help you a lot. I need to order myself another one, I had one at work and one at home and I gave my son the one that I keep at my desk, so I need to replace it. I think going for small goals, like 5 green days in a row is a great idea, star...

Up 1/2 pound from last week, not to bad, that could be eating out for 2 meals during the week or fluid retention. Today is an S day, but will only do my 3 meals, may or may not have dessert tonight.

When I took over my first business (the other 2 were opened from "scratch") I wondered for 2 years if I was doing what God wanted me to, that's how bad it was, but I just knew this is what I was supposed to do. Maybe, give it more time, if you can. God BLess.

Hope you get to enjoy your vacation. Hubby and I took a week off, stayed home and did projects and only had one NWS day, did good the rest of the week, but ate too much junk this past weekend, we need to curb that. Have a blessed day.

CatholicCajun

When our son moved out our grocery bill decreased by an enormous amount, and now it does again, we are not eating as much junk so that helps and we tend to cook things that we can eat for a few days. I agree another reason for No S. Have a blessed day.

Most of the ones that appeared in Woman's World Magazine, it was like a drug to me. Quit buying them (except for one slip up) since I found No S.
