Well, guys, I haven't been doing so great on my diet. I have cut out all sugar, where I can, and replaced it with Splenda. That is a wonderful invention, let me tell ya. I still don't eat white carbs, but I haven't been eating breakfast like I should. I have been under alot of stress lately, and instead of stuffing everything and everything in my mouth, I have avioded food all together. So, I guess I went from one extreme to the other. I am feeling better, and am trying to get back in the swing of things, though. I really want to lose this weight, so I need to just hang in there. I know it will pay off. Oh, and I am back to my cokes, but they are diet, and I limit one a day, not 6 or 7, like I used to. Just thought I'd let everyone know what has been going on. Foxy Lady, don't be too hard on yourself, or you will fail. I started out beating myself up, but it was stressing me out, and now, I am just making small changes, and doing alot better. I am planning on making this a lifestyle change, too, and not just a diet. So, just hang in there, and make small changes, and the weight will eventually come off. I have faith!!
