I just started over yesterday. It is a little scary, but just take it one day at a time, heck… one meal at a time. Just make sure when you start, you’re in a good mental space to get through it. I’m here to be an accountability buddy for anyone, if you’d like it.  Wishing you all luck in your journeys.

@seto8 would it be helpful if I check in with you each day?

@topcoat this is what I’m afraid of. I’m such a sugar junkie I think I might die. I will say ideal worked for me once before about 8 years ago- so there’s hope.

I am on week 5. The first week I didn’t feel so well. Feel better now. Lost 15 pounds and I love how much more comfortable my clothes and bras feel. When I am tempted now, especially with wine, I just look at how hard I have worked and how much happier I am with myself and proud of myself.

@filature I really want my pants to fit again.  
by (910 points)
@seto8 I think it is one of the best feelings. I have 3 boxes of clothes that are too small. I look forward to getting into those boxes.

I started back 7 days ago. I want to encourage you because I feel so much better! A few days where I would have some hunger but not crazy hungry- I'd just eat a big salad when it came on. Mentally and physically feeling great! Welcome back!

@pendant57 thank you for the encouragement.
