The beauty of a woman is not seen through what she wears. It is seen through how she carries herself and the way she doesn’t allow herself to settle. Don’t ever let anyone take for granted the beauty that is within you. Stand firm and know that you’re a wonderful person. Always remember your value and respect yourself. I’m so blessed to have you in my life.  Sometimes we all need to be reminded how special we really are!

Hi Johnna,  ohhhh nice to know I'm not alone.  I still have NOT touched a piece of chocolate.  Yeah for me.  I've been a good girl.  But my gosh, I've had a headache every day and just can't believe it would be from the chocolate.  ummmm I think my headache doc did say that chocolate does contribute to headaches.  But I didn't think I was consuming THAT much!  It may be this darn weather too.  My sinuses have been acting crazy. 

I've also been learning to balance things better.  But obviously my balancing got a little sideways.  We learn by screwing up, don't we?  I'm doing lots of things right but chocolate is now added to my don't take one bite list!  It obviously is a trigger for me and I have to completely avoid it.  Other things I've been fine with moderation but alittle here and alittle there spells trouble to me.  Thanks for the accountability. 

Where is Leigh Ann and Alta?

OMG Girl... that is my downfall. I must admit I have had m&m's today   but they were mini's and in my mind, it could have been worse.  I am learning how to balance everything and I know that I can't eat much anymore at one time so I figure if I can balance a little bad stuff with all the good, I can maintain. I just have 50lbs more to go and like you said head hunger is a hard thing to get away from.
Be Well  : )

Yeah, congrats and thanks for the invite. I will try to stop in as much as I can. I post on the main IN board mostly and am getting busier at work so, I don't always get a chance to stay there long.
LOL to Kat, I'm the second na-na-na-na.
Be Well  : )

Welp, guess I have to start over.  It didn't post the last time, dang it!

I have been having a problem staying away from chocolate.  Yesterday I went a wholeeeee day and didn't eat any.  I was so proud of myself.    I need to prove to myself that I could say NO!

That old habit of, I can just take one bite doesn't work!  As if I didn't know that  I had a headache last night but I don't think it was caffeine withdrawal, I think it was the sugar. 
that sugar.  It's my worst enemy.  Because as I was eating it I was saying to myself "This doesn't even taste that WONderful so why the h$*@ I'm I eating it????  Sugar!  And because I've been dealing with some personal issues that have me depressed and still thought food would comfort me????  Oh God help me!  This really is a LIFElong journey.  I'm a food addict and need to stay accountable.  I have confessed.  Hope you guys will help keep ME accountable.
