Hey there Maren Okay what's so bad about your day??? Lemme ask you something girlfriend. Back in the "old days" how many bowls of beef stew would you have had??? What kind of dripping butter would you have put on your scones??? Hear me yet?? ~grins~ There is something that Jessica says that makes me relax each and everytime I wonder if I am doing it all okay. She says the week is cumulative. The exercise you put in during the week, the food you eat, the steps you take in conquering this monster is cumulative. So if you ate a scone today, big deal. Tomorrow you will cut down a little more on the carbs and even yourself out completely!!! You are doing great and I am so happy to have you back, Maren. Donna

Donna, Your reminder was exactly what I needed to hear first thing this morning! Thank you. I can be so hard on myself that I end up sabotaging myself due to guilt feelings that are way out of proportion. Thank you so much for the reality check. Have a great day! Blessings, Maren
