It's a plan to get your pouch back working how it should - detox carbs and reduce portions.
I can't remember the exact web site, but I'm sure if you google it you will find it. I did it, and it really does help, BUT for me the weight that I lost came straight back on again. For me it was more about gaining back control.

good to know I'm not alone!
haha, yeh, but the thing I want to know is how can it be that I can take one bite of something and it be 350 (or more) calories, and I work out hard in the gym for an hour and I only burn off 350 calories - something not right there

Hi Ruth! I am right there with ya, babe!!! I've fallen back into the habit of baking cookies ... there is nothing more relaxing to me than to bake cookies! And the horrible part is that I can eat cookie after cookie and not dump at all.
Another thing I've noticed lately is that I can consume a much larger portion than I used to be able to. It's like I can eat what other "normal" people eat! That scares me a lot!!!
I went to the gym yesterday and worked out for 2 hours. My dimented logic is that if I work out enough, I can eat more. Right? HAHA!
Great job for getting to the gym anyway!
Your partner in crime,

Topic: Food Fest
Oh boy - when I blow it I blow it big time! Yesterday was a real food fest for me. I foolishly bought some Yum yums - do you have those? They are very light doughnuts covered in sugar icing - delicious, and horribly morish. Of course because they are so light, I just kept on having one each time I went into the kitchen!
Sigh, my name is Ruth and I'm an addict. Most of the time I do well, but occassionally it catches me out and it sure did yesterday. And not one glimpse of dumping from all those carbs and sugar :o(
Hope you are all doing better than me right now. Today is a new day for me to sort it out. Went to the gym this morning and did a full workout.
