    My w/e was rough but I am back on track today. My new commitment is to stay junk food free and also alcohol free. When I drink, I seem to crave salt. So then I feel bloated and icky. So, my new week started today and I am going to stay clear of junk -- both solid and liquid forms!

    i'm having such a hard time not eating fried food or those 100 calories snacks..

    take it day by day or work on one thing at a time... i think that fried food makes me feel more yucky than just regular snacks, so i would say work on one thing at a time.

    if you really love one food and eat it a lot, such as french fries... tell yourself, "okay for one week i am not going to eat french fries" and when you do it you'll be so proud ofyourself that you won't want to eat those nasty suckers anymore!!!!

    i am a huge chocolate lover... and last week i didn't eat any chocolate. when i ate that cake at my brother's graduation, my stomach was churning for the next 12 hours. so to me, it was not worth it at all!

    baby steps!

    I agree. It does take baby steps and everyone has slip ups but it is important to recognize them and move on.

    Yeah for me its Jack in a Box Curly Fries it tastes good and easy to get esspecially when your busy.
    But YES baby steps, its a slow process but will be worth it in the end.

    Well i haven't checked in for a while (mainly because i was out of town at a wedding) and i must say, i didn't do as bad as i thought that i would. I hate being a guest in someone's house because you're kind of binded to eat whatever is given to you. Luckily my boyfriend's stepmom is very health conscious and i was surrounded by lots of fruit, kashi products, and lots of yogurt! yum yum! However, the wedding was a different story - cupcake (whoopsies), macaroni and cheese (yeah, another slip up - lol), and a lot of potato chips while watching a late night movie with my man (what can i say; it happens! haha)

    Although I did slip up (but stayed within my calories) and I came to terms with it and decided to not really let it bother me, I must say: i was definitely feeling it in my stomach for daaays!!! I'm just now starting to feel like my digestive system is back to normal. too many processed foods for this girlie!

    Any tips on how I can avoid this when i go to Vegas at the end of the week?
