Next time you are at the store or the Schwan truck pulls up to your yard, get yourself a box. I would also check the things at the store. I bet regular fudge cycles aren't more than 100 calories.
We don't have to feel deprived. We can have 1 ONE 1. I'm so glad I read the label. Once in a while, I can have 1.
I have also discovered the individual serving cups you can get with ice cream or sherbert in them is only 100 calories and depending on which you choose, no or little fat.
Don't go crazy thinking you can have 3 per day. No, no, no... Be reasonable and you can have some.

Then there is my hubby, notice no DH, who decided to drop 10 pounds and did it in a week. UGGHHH! He just has that metabolism and he does exercise alot plus he is one of those guys who doesnt care about food. Top steak dinner with all the trimmings or frozen pizza, it's all the same to him!

Gwyn, those treats are so additive I dare not get any I only crave more. But I agree if you can be strong they are wonderful. I however become weak and want more than just one in a day. So I just stay away from it.

Trupeach, don't you dare throw in the hat. You have done really well so don't let a little set back get the best of you. We are in this together and we need you with us to keep us motivated. Keep doing what you know you need to do just like the rest of us. Don't let us all down.

Go have Fun! If it's a friend the weight won't mean a thing and who knows if friends really like each other what comes next? If the weight thing bugs him you don't need that kind of friend. Let us know how it goes.

His name is Mike and he lives just a couple miles from me. Woohoo!!!
I so had to share with you. Oh, I do worry about what he is going to think when he sees me in person. Is he going to freak when he sees my hanging belly? Oh I could go on for hours. But, I am just going to have to let God handle it.
Whew. Calm down Missy. Calm down.
Love y'all!

Oh, and this is a great thing...he lives on the third floor of his apartment building so I was able to walk up three flights of stairs and boy was it a workout! But I didn't huff and puff, I just walked up them slowly. I did not think I had it in me to do that!
Tomorrow I go to see the internist at the hospital and weigh in, so it should be interesting.
Woohoo! Oh, by the way, his name is Mike. :)
I am having him over here on Friday night. I am making Mexican food for us. He will get to meet my parents and get to spend the evening with me.
I am just so happy. My mom came bouncing up the stairs when I got home. She was shouting "details details!!" Hehe. So funny.
It was so nice to be treated like a girl and to have someone dote on me. I have never had that before. Yay for gentlemen!!
