I think it is naural to crave bad things. If you still have more weight to lose what helps is protien and exercise. You have to work your tool. If you have a bad day sometimes just do better the next day. Dont be too hard on yourself and remember to love yourself, even a thin you. I am down to 200 pounds for a 6 ft man. I am thin which seems weird after being 350 pounds for years,

every time i get close to a major goal i start craving and finding it hard to resist "bad" foods, i know part of it is mental, actually , most of it is mental , but how do you fight this, what are somethings that have worked well for you all, i know this is a constant pressure i have to face, and i have some tricks/tips for coping, but i need more , i have been really losing slow , mainly to my losing this fight against myself, its hard, i want to be thinner and healthy , and yet its kind of scary too, not on any concious level , concously i crave the thinner helathier me, but subconciously !! arrrrggghhh, what a battle !!!!

Ok, y'all I was out of town for a couple of days... when I got back, I got on the scale and it said 198. Can you believe that? My weight now starts with a one? From 396 to 198... I can finally see the light at the beginiing (maintenance) of the tunnel. I N E V E R want to see a 2 as the first number of my scale again. Thanks for all your support!

Joe, I also was close to getting an AUDI TT Roadster - ragtop - now THAT was so sweet to drive - you might consider sitting in that - it had so much leg room it was unbelievable!
