Irish, what a testament to you and this WOE.

Congratulations!

I am new here (7 weeks) but have been helped and inspired by your posts.
(I tried all of those diets, too, even the Ayds with their little wax paper wrappers & hot water. I, of course, ate them compulsively...and not as intended )

What is up with us Atkins people and tuna? hahaha...I have never tried the pouch, I carry a small flip top can. What other snacks do you carry around with you?

Congrats! I am so proud of you

Thanks all for your comments and messages. Pay It Forward was always a theme that was reinforced here on the board and it is what gives us such a flavor of experiences and strength. It was some of the best advice I ever had.

I always have cheese, pepperoni, turkey, veggies and hard boiled eggs in the refrigerator. If I'm going to be on the road for the day, I pack a "snack pack" turkey roll ups with cheese, slices of pepperoni and veggies, celery sticks, a hard boiled egg or my pouch of tuna. Sometimes I will get a simple salad somewhere and just add what I want to add to it.

Re: Monday it will be six years for me!

Thanks SO MUCH for sharing that! I, too, am feeling a little overwhelmed at the mountain ahead of me, but I know it has been done by others and will be repeated by ME. I really appreciate seeing your post!
