Yeah for you. we are now even sister as i am holding at 7# since the 
new year. i am very determined at this time in my life to do 
something good for me as noone else will or cares to. i have been 
pretty good this weekend actually, not really craving sweets for 
some reason though i did have a caramel macchiato yesterday. guess 
that does count. havent really been very hungry lately so taking 
advantage of that of course. :)) it is esp. hard as we have company 
for a week and food is all around but again im not hungry. have been 
drinking much more water and that makes me feel good about myself.

When i look back to what i was eating back in october- sweets 
galore, sodas. loads of coffee snacks galore i am totally amazed at 
the changes i have made in 5 months or so, incredible. No i havent 
lost a ton of weight, but i have conquered sweets- snacking- seconds-
over eating-sodas-and have learned to drink more water. So i am 
tooting my own horn today sorry everyone,but maybe some of you need 
to hear that it takes a while to get it right. it is a process and a 
slow one at that, but then again these 50# of extra didnt fly on me 
over night, but one day at a time. 
So what am i to do now that i am at a plateau? well i am eating more 
fruits and eating alot less than i have been these 5 months. 

Please keep me in your prayers as i am going thru a very rocky time 
in my life with dh, thats not dear by the way!! it doesnt look good 
and i must concentrate on my future. i havent been happy for a very 
long time just hanging in there, so this just pushes me further on. 
I am sticking with this EP but tweaking a bit.(see above)I may not 
post as often anymore but im still here, hangin tough with my friend 
Deberoo.and surviving :/ like on NOs one day at a time.

Love to you all, you guys are the best !
