Hi laparshall. You know, I did start over again on Friday. And just keeping track of what I ate made me feel better by the end of the day. I went over my points allowed by 3, but that is still within the overall weekly points. I was just starving all day. Thank goodness for popcorn! I ate two big bowls of it, it is filling and tastes good too. Here is a fun question for you. Is popcorn considered a vegetable? A teacher that I worked with years ago would let her kids eat popcorn at mealtime saying it was a vegeatable. I've always wondered about that. :) So I will try to eat better again this week and see what happens with that scale. I will keep trying. And thanks for the pep talk, I needed it.
