Hey, Ark, I know you've been struggling, but I saw in Terri's thread about her birthday that you managed to stay on plan, and I just wanted to congratulate you. I know it's tough sometimes (BELIEVE me, I know), so nice going!

DogMa ~ A thread just for me. AWWW, Thanks!!!

I've been struggling all week with the worst food cravings I've ever experienced in the whole three months that I've been on MF. Yesterday was definitely the worst, but today is a brand new day and I'm feeling much better. Thanks for checking in on me and your, wonderful kind words.

Also wanted to say THANK YOU to everyone on the boards for their support and encouragement. Just by being yourself, you're being very helpful to others.

Yesterday, when I was going through the cupboards trying to find something to cheat with, my DH was standing behind me saying, "Don't do it, Don't do it". I had a few choice words for him, but then he said the magic words, "What are you gonna tell your MF friends? That you can't do it? That it's too hard?"

I don't think wiser words have ever been spoken. I grabbed an extra RTD, sucked it down and went to bed. Just the thought of having to confess to all my buddies that I couldn't take the pressure ... Well, it was just heart-wrenching and it got me through. Albeit, I did have an extra shake, I doubt it'll kill me 'cuz I had to have something.

Thanks Guys for being there (like the Verizon network) ... I know you've got my back.

GREAT job Ark! Image

And two big thumbs up for your DH for helping! Image

I'm not sure I could be as strong if I had anything other than MF products in my pantry. ;) Wait...yes I could...maybe. :lol:

I had some major cravings a few months ago, too, Ark. I have no idea why, but the good news is they only lasted a few days. I had an extra shake every day for three or four days, and then poof! They were gone again.

That's right..we just have to get through the cravings. They will pass! One thing that helps is to try something different. Like today, I made my hubby and I a Medifast banana shake with the SF Chocolate syrup in it. Let me tell you, it tasted better than ice cream. It was the best shake I've had since I started medifast. We were kind of getting tired of the chocolate and vanilla. Just change things up once in awhile. We CAN do this!!!
