I can't believe I tried to sabotage myself! Tomorrow will mark 3 weeks for me on the program - I am doing the full fast with a lean and green meal once a week - to keep my system used to food...any hoo back to my point. Aunt Flo is coming for a visit on Wednesday and I am CRAVING anything and everything - I called my husband and whined to him on the phone and he said, "what can I do to help you?" But do you know what I wanted him to say? I wanted him to say go ahead, eat something, you deserve it this week. And if he had said that, I probably would have and I guarantee it would not have been anything slightly lean and or/green. But I didn't

This week I am going to make all my shakes chocolate, maybe that will help

Sorry for the ramble, just wanted to share with someone! Have a great day!

Hi Karen,
Hang tough girl! This is definitely a tough time to get through with all those hormones rampaging! But remember that's all it is. Hormones. And that it is going to pass in a day or two. Occupy yourself. Do something, ANYTHING to get your mind off food. And tell yourself that it's gonna feel great when you get through this victoriously. You are in control.
Keep shakin girl,
Carrie

You're not rambling! You're being Human! You're a woman!!
We all crave stuff???? Who are you telling??
BUT....you DO HAVE determination and I am proud of you!! You should to! If you didn't have it....you would have eaten something regardless of who and what anyone said. You wouldn't even have called your Hubby!
Girlfriend?? You rock ! Always remember your dream when the going get really tough....just repeat the quote at the bottom of my message...memorize it and ask your self each time it gets tough : What is more important? What you want NOW or MOST? and is what you want NOW going to affect what you want MOST? and then based on how you answer this...make your choice...because it is But your choice..Your Life!

In the end darling...it will all be okay...'cause there will be days like this!

Keep 'em shaking!!

Karen,
I can relate to that. I wanted my husband to say go ahead eat that baked potato you've done so well. You know what he said to me, he said "if you have so little respect for me that you think I would say go ahead and cheat, then that is very telling". First I was angry, then I realized he's been supporting me and I think just because I wanted that potato that he should say sure hun go ahead. Then I realized how lucky I was. He is supporting me on this program, which is what I really want so I had better not insult him in such away anymore. I am lucky I know that and I really need his support on this or it would be impossible. I decide I really didn't want his approval for that potato, because I have had other things not on plan and didn't ask him what he thought. So needless to say I didn't have that potato. Sorry didn't mean to ramble on, your post just reminded me of that incident this weekend.

Back to shaking! Have a great day!

Husbands can sure be helpful, can't they?

My Darlin' husband got me through the rough times - he truly helped me make it to my goal and now he rewards me with surprise trips to the mall or out of town for some time away. Very cool!

When you know there is going to be a stressful time ahead (Aunt Flo), be sure to get extra rest, have a cup of soothing herbal tea, pamper yourself in any way you can.

We have a beauty school not far from our home and our daughter and I went last week and had the works. I had a facial, a pedicure and my hair colored for $32 - what a deal, eh??? I felt so pampered, so relaxed, I could hardly drive home! Becky got her hair cut and highlighted - she looks so awesome!

KUDOS to you KD!!!!!

When my husband was alive I remember putting him - or trying to -- put him in that situation of giving me PERMISSION to abuse myself ---- GOD WE NEED RETRAINING OR WHAT>>>>> at this point we know (most of the time that we don't want to do it to ourselves BUT we still believe in poll taking in the weak moments ----- because that's who we WERE -- just by the outcome it's clear that's NOT WHO WE ARE TODAY!!!!!!!! Yeah for us - one day at a time, one incident at a time and one victory at a time!!!!

If only Re-contitioning my brain could be as easy as re-contiioning my hair - years of old, sick habits that allowed me to keep myself in pain --- WHY, because I just didn't know - what, how, why, who, where.... I'm learning more everyday --- it's ME....and I will change this time I have made that choice and commitment to myself....I MATTER!!!!

YOU GUYS are AWESOME and I couldn't be doing it without Y'all --- everyday I get something I need from someone on this forum - either a bat in the head or a reason to relect and FEEL things I've been avoiding for YEARS>>>>yadda, yaddda, yadda...sorry for the long winded post...

WE WILL do this together!!!
