Yes, sharing everything does help in keeping us on track.
Keep focused and you will make it.

I guess you didn't read the comment after this, I had a hot fudge sundae. It was none of the above, I wasn't hungry or bored etc. I wanted it because I NEVER have things like that in the house. I bake pies when DS is home not when it is only me and Joyce. Joyce likes cake and I am not a big cake fan. I NEVER EVER have ice cream in the freezer, Joyce throws up when she eats it. This has been since she was a child.

[quote=Terryl for lunch I had a serving of special K blueberry with a cup of light yogurt. I don't care for milk so I use yogurt on my cereals makes the yogurt crunchy :))[/quote]

Sounds gross tastes yummmmmmoooooo, replace milk in the cereal with a cup of coffee.

I found that I am doing better just cutting out little things at a time. To do it all at once was overwhelming. A little adjustment here (add excercise) another adjustment there (drink more water, eat more salads/vegatables) has been working for me. I will keep nudging my lifestyle until it is something I can live with and be healthy. As circumstances change I believe I will always have to make these adjustment.
I was also told not to diet on a daily basis, but to plan a higher calorie meal once in a while as it keeps us happy. I had a candy bar a couple weeks ago, but it was planned for, adjustments were made in my calories. But the important thing is I had no guilt, plus as it was planned for it didn't start me on a binge.

This may not work for you all, but it has helped me.

[quote=trupeach1]I used to work with a girl that used orange juice instead of milk as she was lactose intolorant never had the courage to try it myself. I love coffee but not sure I'm brave enough to try it on cereal. Something new to think about.

[quote=Terryl]When my dd were in grade school they used OJ in place of milk on their cereal. I thought they were a bit strange. But they are healthy adults now so....

This a very much like a book that has helped me a lot called, Habits Not Diets.
