I have to not have any chips at all-- I have no willpower if I have a few I am gonna eat the bag or more!!!! I have leaned that about myself--acknowledge that about myself and I am goona change that about myself. LOL

DQ Blizzard-went into the DQ with a friend to get her husbands birthday cake......I was so tempted to get a skorr blizzard--my absolute favorite ice cream product-- and I was able to leave without one. Yipeeee!

I love the responses i get. It helps me keep going day to day. Thanks

Punta Cana DR here I come!!! Not til Mar 1st but two weeks with sun and sand to look forward to.

WTG! I am using this site to help with my potato chip addiction. I know not the same ---but addiction==addiction. I am working on 9 days. This site has been helpful--keeping me on track. Good luck with your battle. I do know it is possible. I am a reformed smoker. postive thoughts and actions=success--- I know YOU can do…

Some of the protein bars out there are not to bad (others really taste like cardboard). I have found a few that have a good amount of protein with lower carbs and not to much sugar. Taste is important to me -- so I have tried lots. They are portable-quick and easy.

OMG. Thank you for your note. Emotional wreck that I am---your words brought tears to my eyes. You are right. I have always encouraged my daughter to be a strong and independent woman. I just need to acknowledge that I am also strong and independent. Thanx.

Hang in there. I have been stuggling with the same issues you are. I work only nights 12hr shifts. 4-5hours sleep per 24 hours during worktime is max I get ..... My weight loss has been slow to start but I believe that if we stick with calorie counting--exercise and sleep when we are able then eventually it has to balance…

I added a middle of the night 3-4am slot to my diary. I work night shifts and this seems to help me keep on track. I use the 24hour clock--so i record my intake for each 24 time frame.

To everyone of us on the chip trip Good Luck for the day. Happy travels.

WELCOME ---Day 1 --good for you. I didn't toss my husbands (maybe I should have --haha--I would have slept better) However I do see that they are gone this am--He said he would take them to work and that way I would not be tempted. Now to not have them in the house in the furture..... He has tried hiding them but I seem to…

Beautiful!

Congratulations. It is great to hear the success stories of others. It helps me know it can be done.

WTG!!! You looke great.

GOOD FOR YOU! Your kick for yourself helped me get to my treadmill today. Thank you

Have a pj day--that is always good for restart. I take one every so often-- A day where I don't interact with the world or its people in any meaningful way. I watch junk TV, I don't exercise and I eat one of my favorite foods.(Something I don't make--just order in) I pamper myself for the day-avoiding all serious thought.…

You all make me smile--Thanks I am giving myself a do-over just cause it was New years. Happy New Year to one and all.

Don.t give up! I feel what you are feeling on most mornings. It is hard to just keep doing it. Positive thoughts to the universe for you. One little step at a time. 2011 is going to be a great year--one day at a time.

Thanks you guys. Day I will be better! I have no idea what time zone the postings are in. My post says 245am but my actual time was 645am. I conclude that the timings for these postings are all on the same time zone---4 hours different fom mine--way west lol.

Great job! That was one of my vices was the potato chip! We are stronger than the chip - you can do it! THANKS

Congrats on wlaking away..I know that was not easy. I work tonite . I will use your walking away thought to get me thru.

I am back where I started. AGAIN!

I knew I was not the only chip addict out here but it helps:flowerforyou: to actually have others acknowledge it. It also helps to have others give a nod to the "I can't have one" gene. Thank you and knowing that others are doing it does help.

YES. I did the 12hr D/N rotation for years. Not an easy one for sure. That messed up my metabolism...I think. Now I work only night shifts. I work 4 / 12hour nights followed by 4/5 days off depending where I am in my rotation. Now my metabolism has no idea what do do with itself and no more do I.

Thank you. Baby steps it is.

Not obsessive! I want to be able to reach the point that I can say I have logged on for 140+ days. It will mean that I have followed thru and that I am still being accountable to myself. Hopefully it will also mean that I have made some changes in my life for the positive. I think its great that you have been so…
