Ken, thanks for starting this. Having support buddies this time of year is one of the keys to success. It's funny how we can trick ourselves into thinking that just one bite won't hurt, and that slowly starts to creep to more than a bite, or oops one bigger belt notch.

Wouldn't it be nice if we could find a way where our minds switch from feeling deprived to feeling empowered. After all, as much as we love those around us who indulge, THEY are the ones that are depriving themselves of the opportunity to prevent the health situation we are trying to reverse.

Stay strong. You've come such a long way. We CAN do this!.
