Great job ladies ... even when we falter on occassion, you recognize and are being truthful enough to yourself to admit it... that's an accomplishment in itself.

I must agree with IAKG, I'm coming up on a weigh in and the 10 lb mark - it's not a lot when I look at how much further I need to go. But knowing I am doing something positive for me has made a dent in my attitude.

I did the grocery trip last night and ended up with only one remotely bad thing in the cart - chex mix. It was on sale and I love it for a snack. Portion control is the key and so long as I can keep the portion in check I can have it as a snack when I have the points to spare. Otherwise I ended up with two bags of apples, bananas, grapes, salad mix, yogurt, cheese, smart ones, and some lean meats... all pretty healthy and keeping my kitchen stocked so I'm not tempted to run out for a high fat meal.
