You're not alone. This past week has been a bad one for me with alternating between sweet and salty/crunchy cravings. I swear I would kill for a 1/2 cup of Raisin Bran Crunch...and I don't even like raisin bran that much!! I have found popcorn to be a decent substitute for the salties and sf fudgesicles for the sweets....but that doesn't stop the craving from being there. I think it's a head thing and hopefully we'll both move through it soon. Best of luck! Rachael

Topic: A post for today

It makes me sad, as a lurker for there not to be any posts for today. I am not doing well. I am having an uncontrollable "need" for sweets that I am not successfully controling. I don't understand it, until 2 weeks ago I had no problem at all. I was thinking of making either protein balls or cookies with extra protein so I can at least benefit from my cravings.

I hope that you all are have a great and wonderful Saturday. Ann

Topic: RE: Is it hard to believe?

Hi Marcey, You are definitely not alone!!! I do all the same things the other ladies wrote of and then some--I take 3-4 sizes into the dressing room, hesitate to sit in small chairs or chairs that look like they won't hold me

, I even made myself try on all my clothes (again) when I took them out of the dryer and was packing for a trip. I was so worried those little shorts weren't going to fit when I opened my suitcase (and where do I buy other clothes in my enormous size overseas?)...I am told it may be years until we let our brains catch up...so I just laugh about it and ask a really good friend to help out when I shop! Congratualtions on your success!!! -Laura 5'11, -115lbs, at goal Size 8 pants, M shirt (yay!)

Topic: RE: Poll!

I love my collarbones too. It's so nice to see that part of my body that has been hidden for so long. They look really good in a v-neck shirt with a nice necklace! I also love the way my legs look..nice and lean!!

Topic: Bathing suit

I'm sure alot of you will appreciate this one! I was able to wear a 2 piece size 8 bathingsuit yesterday!!! This was the first time ever that I was able to go out to the waterpark in public without covering myself up with a giant t-shirt! I also rode alot of the waterslides and tube rides and fit just fine~it was an awesome experience. Waterworld used to be a summer tradition for the famliy to go each year. I didn't go last year because I felt so bad about myself and the way that I looked and felt and there was no way in hell I was going to be caught wearing a bathingsuit in public...even with a t-shirt. I'm beginning to feel like a normal person inside this body. It's hard for me to accept myself and my body sometimes but I was glad that I was able to do it and have a great time.
