Meanwhile, my husband picked up the book, read it, and was on his way! He never waivered.. he saw the plan as a reasonable approach and he stuck to it.. while I chattered and gripped and lamented, he ate his three meals, got in some exercise every day and ate desserts as a treat on "S" days. His only alterations to the plan was to allow himself1 or 2 Dove squares if he felt the need for chocolate after a meal and he had a few nuts or pretzels with a beer before dinner almost nightly. He has lost over 30 pounds..his shirts are a M instead of an XL and his pants size has gone from a snug 38 to a loose 34. I am wearing the same sizes as when I ordered the book and decided to give this a try!

So... my take on this is..Just Do It!! While I have flitted about making excuses and declaring that I need that snack or I will fade away... hubby,in pretty much the same situations as me, just stuck to his guns and said, "NO, not today " and walked away!
So..my plan? I'm really gonna try to be more like him (in this food area anyhow) and just not see any other way as an option. This is the first time I have really sat down and thought about it and I can see that my approach is just not working as well as his matter-of-fact take on this.
I hope that the next success story I write will be mine!
