Sweetie be nice to yourself. You have made the most important step. and that is making the decision to take off the excess weight. One meal at a time. You can do it.

Wow Laura. Just noticed you are almost to your goal. My goal is close to yours and I have lost 3 lbs so far. I have only be dieting for about 10 days. You are an inspiration to me.

Great Idea DewDrop. Its 10:59 pm. I just ate a cup of strawberries. Is that ok at night? It is better than what I was doing. LOL It used to be crackers, cinnamon toast with butter.

Wow thanks a lot everyone. I'm glad to see that people do use this post and I am not alone. It seems drinking water or tea is the answer. I am going to try that and I will keep track on my water here on my iphone. then i have to be accountable to myself.
