Re: Restart today
Sally I wish you well. You can do it. We all struggle at times and that is okay. We just have to overcome those "cravings" With determination, we can do anything. = )
Best of Luck,

Re: Restart today
Sally, it helps to think up alternatives before you start to struggle. Always have the fridge stocked with safe foods. S/f jello made and ready for sweet tooth, cheese slices you can microwave (1.5 mins) and make into crackers for crisp and crunchy, decaf with cream when you want something warm and filling, and a rotisserie chicken for when you are just starving and need something right then.
Also think of some alternative behaviors. My favorites are to commit to drinking 10 ounces of water anytime I want to eat something (fills you up). I also get out of the house and take a walk when the fridge starts calling to me. Another good one is to start a project that gets your hands dirty-gardening, painting, nails--anything that makes it tough to eat.
Scan the boards-- you will find all sorts of hints to get through these early days.JILL

It's not about the results. Its about the process.
