    Hang in there. Im in the same boat friend! I rely on my husband very much for my diet and exercise and if i didnt have him, i end up in a bad place. Just keep your chin up and remember that even if you cant tell now, it is sooo worth it!

    A few things that I do that makes this easier on me is that I plan my whole menu out for the day early on so it takes the guess work out of things, I know what to eat and I know what the calorie count will be. Make sure you spread out your food to be able to eat every couple hours so you don't become starved and overeat or cheat. That was my problem before I started on this site, I NEVER snacked, just always made myself wait till lunch or dinner when i would eat a huge meal plus dessert in one sitting. Very unhealthy. Just try things that work for you and maybe it will just click.

    only have fresh whole foods in the house and even if you give in to temptation, like we all do, it will be much more difficult to access the unhealthy stuff. Don't buy magarine, butter, soft drinks, coockies, chips or creamy spreads. keep, strawberries, blueberries,pineapple and oranges in the house for your sweet tooth. Salsa and low calorie corn chips are better than potatoe chips and dip. Use low calorie peanut butter and jams insted of margarine, butter or mayo. Remember: if it's not in the house, You can't get to it ..........................easily.

    Hang in there, we are all fighting!
