I have to agree strongly with Jules. This is not a 'DIET', this is a lifestyle change. Cheating leads to weight gain. At Christmas time (those of you who know this story, I apologize for repeating it again....) I thought, wow, you've done good, have a gingerbread cookie. Heck I even took off the icing. Next day....hmm...no movement on the scale. Guess I'm good to go. Another. Then the one day christmas cheat gave way to the one week christmas reward period. Chex Mix. More Cookies. M&M's. Scales moved....wow, only 3 pounds....sweet. Well maybe just until the first or second week of January. We've got all these treats, don't want them to go to waste...(maybe that should have been....waist). 6 -7 pounds, that all??? Heck, lets make some cinnabon rolls, oh yeah, extra cream cheese icing, February 14th...look at that...a 2 pound box of whitman chocolates....damn.....half price.....2 hours later, all gone. Spent the night vomiting. All night. Next morning I got on the scales.......14 pounds!! (and if I hadn't have been sick all night, how much would it really have been, 17 - 20????? How did that happen?????

Nuff said. I have refocused and since then, lost that weight, plus more, other than some caffiene drinks, which I'm still battling with, I've had no 'cheats' nor am I willing to give up these size 38 jeans (unless it's of course a size 36) for any cookie, cake, bread, flour, rice junk that only makes me fat.

I hope this 'sheds some light'.
