am trying to forget that im on a 'diet', or at least under some restrictions... the thought alone sets off some crazy panic binging mechanism before i even get a chance to officially start.........
hope you all doing well!!
peace n love n lunch (that will be my next meal)javascript:emoticon(':lol:')

Hi Misplacedpeg and welcome. Stick with it. You will love it. We all were where you are and made it through those first couple of days. I was the queen of snacking and decided many times not to try this diet because I never thought I could get through a day without snacks but I am on day 23 and feeling pretty darn good about myself. I never thought I would have self control again and every day I have success, I know this is the path for me. For a while, just keep thinking weekend. That is the saving grace of this plan. For 2 days a week life can be "normal" before you get back to plan. And you aren't even cheating. I still sort of live for the weekend but even that is starting to change. You can do this and we can help.

thaaaaanx....
i ve got to say, i could compete for that queen of snacking spot with you..
its great reading your post and congrats with your success!!
hope i can follow in your footsteps

You will. Just take it one day at a time and soon you will be in the 21 day club. Just keep thinking, weekend, weekend, weekend for the first couple of weeks. Best of luck.
