Welcome LakelandMarilyn! You have come to the right place for support and understanding!
I started my Medifast journey a little over 2 weeks ago. I have done a lot of self-talking and I've also tried to stay away from my kitchen when I have times like you are experiencing

. I try to get myself involved in other things, I will drink at least 8 oz. of water, grab a celery stick and stop by here. The people here are so helpful

and so inspirational. I know that with their help, support, and all that I can be successful. I also have Nancy's little mantra to help me keep going: "NOTHING tastes as good as thin feels".
You can do it! Don't let the negative

thoughts overpower you! We are all going to be here to hold your hand

, dry that tear and CHEER you on -- we are in this together!
