The first day of the rest of my life!!!!!!!!!!! Ok ladies, today is the first day of the rest of my life!! Can I do it? Only god know YES I CAN, NEED TO PUMP MY SELF ESTEEM UPPPPPPPPPPP I had Melon, grapes and my wonderful, lovely, fantastic cup of coffee!!! My three old was acting up and my 4 month old is teething, the phone rings, I AM GOING MAD, MUST HAVE CHOCOLATE< calm down rose you can do this, remember the GIGANTIC BAG OF RAW ALMONDS YOU BOUGHT FROM COSTCO? Oh yeahh now I remember, I rush to the kitchen rip it open and grab a handful, whewwwwwwwwwwww much better, chocolate craving has passed! I am in my office, posting Ebay packages, I realize I need to make my three year old lunch, (duhhhhhhhhhh smack upside my head) I ask him what he wants, in reply he says, Cheeeseeeeeeeeeeeeeeee! Now why did not not remember cheeseeeeeeeee (again duhhhhhhhhhhhhhh) while I get his string cheese, I open the Wonderful looking broccoli salad mix , courtest of Costco again ( $7.00) Feeds 9 it says. It has cranberries, shredded broccoli and whole broccoli, soy seeds, sunflower seeds and lowfat dressing. This taste like heaven, I read the package again to remind myself that its supposed to feed 9. PITY! I will have some more for dinner. I am being so good!! Now if I can get off my ass and excercise it may work. I NEED WATER TOO! Its 2:10 I need a snack. I will (REPEAT TO MYSELF< WILLLLLLL DRINNKKK WATTTERRRRRRRRR) and how is everyone elses day going <<<< smiling sweetly Rose

your day sounded alot like mine, except i crave runts all day. and i wasn't as strong as you, i have to amit i finally gave in, and had a few. it stop my craving before it got out of hand. but the best trick was i just took a few out and gave the rest to the son, i knew they wouldn't be around long. it is really good at times to have kids you can pass on things to. lol have a great day.

Portion control! That is so hard for me. But, as long as it's healthy, maybe it's ok to have a little more? I say this after I have eaten four 1 oz. servings of the trail mix in my mouth. Enough. I will put it away now. I can so relate to "the first day of the rest of my life..." I have to make a change. I am not going to lose this weight by imagining myself thinner. So, Thank you ladies. You all inspire me!
