Heya Sherri, Hang in there girl. You will be alright. I also crave more sweets that time of the month. I seem to be able to eat more too. You will get back on track. You are so beautiful and have come such a long way. Cheer up girl. You will start losing again. You probably have built up alot of muscle walking all the time at six flags. Sorry to hear your kiddos are so sick. Hope they get better soon. Take care and don't forget how far you have come and all the hard work you have invested! You go girl. Luv Danelle

Sherri - I've been where you are ~ stuck in the rut of bad eating habits. I've found that the more sweets and carbs I eat, the more I crave them. Give yourself a day without them and water load to get it out of your system. Once it's out, you won't crave them as much. Also get the CRAPPY foods out of the house!!! I have to keep trigger foods out - peanut butter is the worst of it. I ended up dumping salt in the jar last time because it was like a magnet calling me. (I read somewhere that Carnie Wilson always has a salt shaker with her when she eats, and if she's going overboard, she dumps salt on her food). It's tough to stay on track when you've got so much going on around you. One of the things I'm trying to do is be very aware of stress and emotional eating. There are lots of times I know I'm doing it and I'm able to stop, but I'm afraid there are more times that I give in. Well, I guess we have to see ourselves as works in progress - we might never be finished, but hopefully we'll improve!! Hang in there Sherri - you're not alone! Hugs, Nancy -111

Sorry about the sick kiddos. We had that last week. Some days I seem hungry all day. Others I can't eat hardly anything. When I want something sweet, I eat one of my Body for Life protein bars - that usually does it. The few times I've attempted to eat 'real' sweets (Hershey's Kiss or something like that), I pay for it and dump. So that's cured me of that! I haven't even tried steak yet, so I have no clue how much I can eat. I can't even eat a hamburger! One bite and I'm throwing it up. Loose ground beef is fine, made into a patty, and my pouch doesn't like it. I agree with the suggestion to get the bad stuff out of the house. Remove the temptation and it should help. Traci -93
