I've had such a hard time getting started (darn tom). I ate a million calories but this is the first time ever I didn't eat chocolate covered cherries and ice cream.

Oh the stories i could tell!!! If I were an author some of my books might be called:
How to LC with an A-hole in your house
Husband, soon to be Wasband
Husbands. Real or just a sick joke? (a destined best seller!)
Gee can you tell my Mr. Wonderful has been an angel? We'll get through this. We always do

BTW-3 days cheat free!

Hey, I'd take a million calories over chocolate covered cherries and ice cream any day! Great job on passing them up!

My boss tried to make me eat something today. I was like "I'm on a diet" and then my office manager says "You're always on a diet" and then my boss says "Oh - you look like you need to eat something" and then I was like "sorry, can't Doctor's Orders"

Suddenly they left my office and left me alone. The magic words seem to be "doctor's orders" and suddenly the Food Pushers Run Away!

Here is to another fabulous day being Cheat Free
my "friend" ends on Sunday I can't wait to see if I lost weight (it is hard to tell this week).

We all must be, because mine ended yesterday . Strange coincidence isn't it.

It's the weekend...so there may be more temptation for some of us. Just remember doughnuts, ice cream, cake, pies, candy, etc. are all spawns of satan! It would probably be in your best interest to avoid them!
<Sorry, it gets me through sometimes!>

Hope everyone does well this weekend. For some of you, this will be your first Cheat-Free weekend! Yeah!!!

It's so hard to fight off cravings once you cheat though. Urgh.


I'm in the same place as you. Once I put a couple of cookies in my mouth, I can easily eat 1/2 a bag. I just can't get started. It's worse with ice cream, especially if the names Ben and Jerry appear on the label. Imagine me at the factory tour this July. Did I fall off the wagon? Youbetcha.
