I had such a big victory tonight I had to share it with my Medifast family!!

I had my lean and green earlier and my daughters went out to eat so my husband decided him and our boys would have crab legs, my absolute favorite!!! Anyway by the time I prepared the 5lbs for them it was time for my shake so I made my shake and sat at the table while they ate crab legs. My husband asked me if I wanted a bite and I said no without any problem...i even got all the crab meat out for my sons and never so much as licked my fingers.. this may seem small for a lot of yall but knowing myself the way I do I know it was big and it also showed me that my willpower is getting stronger

I just enjoyed my shake and the quality time with my family!!

YAAAAAHOOOOOOO! Doesn't it feel great.

I had a big party last weekend and felt so good to not cheat the whole time - all that food and drink and I was not even tempted!

Keep up the great work! Your body will thank you!

Shakin' it,

Good for you, Lisa! Doesn't it feel good when we exercise our power over food, instead of the other way around? Every victory like this is one step closer to thinsville. Thanks for sharing your success! (To have to shell it, and then not even get to lick your fingers . . . I'm seriously impressed!)


Next time, tell them to warn you BEFORE you eat your L&G that they want crab, so you can have some with them! Crab meat (the real stuff, not the imitation) is on the list of approved leans, right? Just no butter to dip it in. *sigh*

WOW Lisa
YOu are doing sooooo great. You tooo Miss Smarti. Look how much you've changed in the way you now view food. We" eat to live" of course and have to get rid of the idea that we" live to eat" Yup IU've been caught in that trap too. You are both on your way. I'm sooo proud of you.
Yes crab is legal and delicious. I hope you got to save a little for your lean and green today Lisa. You are such a great mom and wife -- fixing crab this time and bar-b-que pork last time. Wow!!!! You are doing great. YOu'll make it

Great job, Lisa! I don't think it sounds like a small thing to any of us; we all have our temptations and know how hard it can be to resist.

And I agree, I hope you were able to save some for later. It'll taste that much better when it's part of a completely legal lean and green.

I only wish that they had saved me some but alas every last bite was taken so maybe next time I want all of you guys to know that you guys are the best and I value each and every one of you!!

Thanks for being there

Way to resist and appreciate the value of family time without eating -- SO awesome.

If you tell me there was drawn butter involved, I will drop to my knees and BOW!!!
