    Find an activity to do when the cravings start. Make a list so you have one that is feasible in
    the time you have in our schedule at that moment...ie, come here and read the posts, there are some GREAT support groups here, go for a walk, take a bike ride or what ever your exercise of choice is, call a friend!
    I had one of those days today...so I came here and read some positive posts....kept me motivated! Our group is called L.O.S.T.(Losing One Step at a Time) Feel free to check us out! All are welcome!
    Have a FAB_U_LOSS day my friends!!!!

    Keep yourself distracted when you feel that urge coming

    I tried so hard to get that book digitally, but its only available to UK readers. Bummer! I enjoyed the free sample though.
