YOU DID GOOD. I KNOW THAT IT IS HARD WHEN YOUR HEAD WANTS SOMETHING SO BAD. FOR ME IT IS DEEP FRIED THINGS. I AM FROM TX AND WE LIVE ON CHICKEN FRIED EVERYTHING. AT LEAST I USED TO. CANT REMEMBER THE LAST PIECE OF FRIED CHICKEN THAT CROSSED THESE LIPS. I GET THOSE CRAVINGS EVERY NOW AND THEN AND I JUST JUMP ON THE COMPUTER AND EMAIL EVERYONE I KNOW THEN GO TO SP AND CHECK OUT NEW SITES AND OLD ONES. IT REALLY HELPS. KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK. ANDRA

schippers DONT DO IT. YOU WILL ONLY BE STRONGER IF YOU RESIST THAT URGE. BUT PLAN AHEAD. GET SOME SUGAR FREE CHOCOLATE PUDDING CUPS. OR SOME WEIGHT WATCHER FUDGE BARS. THEY ARE REALLY GOOD AND FULL SIZE SO YOU FEEL LIKE YOU ARE SPLURGING, BUT IT WILL KEEP YOU FROM OVERDOING IT. THEY ARE A LITTLE EXPENSIVE BUT SO WORTH IT JUST FOR TIMES LIKE THIS. STAY ON SP UNTIL THE URGE PASSES. GO FOR THAT WALK, GET OUT OF THE HOUSE. THATS WHAT I DID THIS AM AND IT HELPED. I HAVE DONE REALLY WELL SO FAR. NEED TO GO WALK THE DOG SOON SO THAT WILL HELP. WHEN YOU HAVE CRAVING EMAIL SOMEONE, GET ON THIS SITE ANYTHING TO GET YOU MIND OFF OF IT. THEY SAY CRAVINGS ONLY LAST ABOUT 10 MINUTES SO FIND SOMETHING TO DO. ALSO TRY BRUSHING YOUR TEETH. THE CLEAN TASTE WILL CUT A LOT OF CRAVINGS UNLESS YOU HAVE CHOCOLATE TOOTHPASTE!!!!!!!!!!!! HOLD ON GIRL. THIS TOO SHALL PASS. LET US KNOW HOW IT GOES ANDRA

Help, I am so wanting to have ice cream or chocalate right now, and for once my Husband did not bring junk home this week end he wanted to help me, but the disire to have anything right now even though I know I dont need it, is so unbeliveable, it is like I want to bolt out the door and run to the nearest store, you know im not fond of excersise but right now i could take up jogging, jogging right to the store for junk, it is a good thing I live on an Island becasue I have to first take the boat to the other side and than get in the car and than take a 15 min ride to town to go to the store, and I guess I dont want it bad enough or I know it is not worth it and I am finally learning how to win it, however I dont know if I wold be this strong to resist if I lived close to a store.

SEEMS A LOT OF US HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM WITH FOOD. IT IS NO LONGER SOMETHING WE DO TO SURVIVE. WE USE IT TO FILL THE EMPTY HOLES IN OUR LIVES, WHAT EVER THEY MAY BE. IF THERE IS AN EMPTY SPOT, SHOVEL IT FULL OF FOOD. WE NEED TO REALLY STOP AND THINK BEFORE WE EAT AND SEE IF THERE IS SOMETHING ELSE WE NEED INSTEAD. ITS HARD BECAUSE FOOD IS SO EASY TO GET. IT IS ALWAYS AVAILABLE. LETS VOW TO REALLY THINK BEFORE WE BITE AND TRY TO FIND THE HOLES AND FILL THEM UP WITH OTHER THINGS. IN THE LONG RUN WE WILL ALL BE HEALTHIER, EMOTIONALLY AND PHYSICALLY.

Hi,

I am so glad that I found a place where I can have people around me who understand how I feel. It seems like my friends don't understand emotional eating. I find I eat when I am lonely, sad even happy. I really want to get rid of my extra weight but I know it will take time and changes in my eating habits.

Have a great day look forward to getting to know everyone.

yes we can do it, but I have to say I could not do it alone, with out my faith in God and good friends like you and others here who understand and encourage i hate to think where I would be 10 years from now with my Health.
Anytime you need to chat let me know.
Good luck and God bless.
Connie.
