I went to the mall today, knowing that today would be my last day without planning my menu. I was alomost in a panic mode, wanting to get all my favorites before tomorrow. I've been trying to kick this addiction from the time I quit smoking 3 years ago. That's when I found a new addiction and became an x-slave to cigarettes and a new slave to food. It's all I think about. I'm successful pretty much everytime that I decide to lose the weight, but to stay with it is another struggle. I always gain it back. I'm a yo-yo binge dieter. I know all the right tools that work for me, yet putting them into play is the hard part.I can't wait to start fresh tomorrow with all of you. I love being back on the board. I missed it a lot.

When I read your message, I thought that I was reading one of my own. Except for the smoking. Way to go on quitting. I am a total food addict and like you I know how to lose the weight and yet I still gain it back everytime. I even have a friend who lost 95lbs due to my encouragment. She came to me to ask how to eat and what exercises to do, but do you think I could kick my own butt.
This board is great though because it shows you that there are other people that crave the crappy foods that we do and yet they have lost weight and that is very encouraging.
