I feel guilty and just cannot seem to control comfort foods!. yesterday it was 2 biscuits and some gravy! I try and it is so hard. I just needed to vent, so sorry if I sound whiney, but this is a real problem for me. I have a family reunion the first of september and want to look my best or even close and when I eat like that it brings me down! Can anyone sympathize?

Try keeping healthy snacks around the house and when your out, if you can't resist, try sharing a piece with someone. Just look on it as a momentary lapse (which we all get) and get right back on with your healthy habits.

So, just try to think about how great you will feel when you attain your goals when you are having difficulty resisting, go grab a glass of water and a healthy snack and be PROUD that you are able to comfort yourself with something else and I'll bet you will feel better after the donuts have all been eaten by OTHERS! :) -------------- Veda MISERY IS OPTIONAL ***When you are up to your ears in trouble, try using the part that is not submerged. ***The difference between a dream and a goal is a plan.

Don't let it be a slippery slope but instead see it as being human & make sure you get on the right track. Remind yourself of how far you've come & your goal & stick to it & you'll do fine.

I've never really been overweight but I stopped working out and got a big belly. I started eating right and working out again a year ago and I'm still not where I want to be!! Stick with it and be patient!! Persistence is the key!!
