Thanks for sharing all of this hard stuff about what family and friends can do to sabotage us, even though they don't mean to.

Yes the things that stick in our minds, no matter how much people tell us we are perfect and beautiful, those negative comments linger. I can't ever remember not feeling like I needed to be on a diet, even at a size kids 14. (I was an adult) I felt I should have been in a 12. Now at a size women's 8, I struggle to feel that this acceptable and I should be in a 6. Everyday a struggle to feel right.

I am trying to be so very good because my trip to New Orleans is near and I want to be in a good headspace around all that yummy food. I don't want to have to go through detox like I do after each trip there, the salt alone is a killer.

I weighed in after a month of counting calories and I've lost 6 pounds. 6 pounds on a 5"1 frame is a good amount! My skirt felt a little looser today so I am happy, I am also finding some days I can't even get to 1,000 calories. I am replacing the carbs with more fruit. It sure does keep the hunger pangs away.

The iphone app has been a lifesaver. It's so easy and tracks everything, and it's quite a reality check. It's called My Fitness Pal if anyone is interested. (I call it the "fitness bitch" but that's just me)
Good luck to all, this time of y is a tough one, but it's TOO dang hard to lose it once you find it!
