There is no trick to it - we are not special - we are the same as other people - with one exception. When faced with choices, they make different ones, they are just as difficult for others, but they suck it up. Thats the truth of it.<br /><br />If we thought that we couldn't -- lose it again I mean, would we still overeat at the weekend....I suspect not. Would we make different choices -- I think we might.<br /><br />We give ourselves tacit permission to binge, knowing that if we really work at it from Monday to Friday - that the scales wont smack us upside the head. Isnt that the trouble?<br /><br />But what the heck do I know!<br /><br />Blue~Manon~https://www.blogger.com/profile/07708960722129807731noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6579691121312386696.post-1865758743771276032010-07-26T07:26:59.286-04:002010-07-26T07:26:59.286-04:00Loved your cupcake story -- cupcakes are so easy t...Loved your cupcake story -- cupcakes are so easy to make that it surprised me that one could have a whole business making and selling just cupcakes. But they do sound yummy. Sorry to hear about your episode of feeling sick after eating the fries. Listen to your body -- your gall bladder may be telling you that you can no longer handle the grease. Mine told me that, and helped make it very easy for me to give up all greasy foods. Please, please, please make goal...I love hearing success stories....makes me believe I can get there too!MARSIAL2010https://www.blogger.com/profile/07930679479174146656noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6579691121312386696.post-48505935882356039042010-07-26T00:15:58.724-04:002010-07-26T00:15:58.724-04:00Cravings i find are the hardest thing to deal with...Cravings i find are the hardest thing to deal with.

If I stayed home I think I would be fine, but I am always off doing something, and then I eat HORRIBLY! I spend the next week getting the pounds I gain over the weekend... off again! We can do it I have faith! I think you have the right idea and it is something I have been trying as well...having you portion of what you want and learning to be satisfied with it. :) Good luck this week and upcoming weekend!Stephaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18003357381622955089noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6579691121312386696.post-88133417928811305102010-07-25T21:31:22.306-04:002010-07-25T21:31:22.306-04:00You DEFINITELY have the right mindset on your crav...You DEFINITELY have the right mindset on your cravings!!

I weigh in Saturday and tend to do the same thing.

Seriously, the fac...And yes, Cara... you CAN do it!<br />Seriously, the fact that you are acknowledging your cravings and slip ups is huge. And still weighing in. The temptation for me in the past was to just stop weighing myself. That way I don't face my weight gain and don't stop my unhealthy eating behaviors.<br /><br />You are facing it head on... and working it out. You don't want to deprive yourself yet you still want to keep everything in check. It is and will be a constant set of checks and balances but I think you are doing GREAT!!<br /><br />When you make your cupcakes, you ought to post some pics of them on here. That would be fun to see. :)<br /><br />Keep on top of it girl, you can do hard things!!<br /><br />~MargeneMom to the Fourth Powerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10091089683550035826noreply@blogger.com
