Honey, I and I'm sure most of us here, completely understand where you are coming from about fad diets and the sucess/failure they bring.

I work with a lady at my 2nd job, that started some diet (something like Atkins or South Beach). She came in the other night, gushing that she had lost 12 pounds in a week on this diet. 12 pounds... holy crap! That took me a couple months on WW to do... and she did it in 7 days! Yeah, I found myself jealous and my negative self talk popped in my head, "damn, you suck Tonya. You've been doing this how many months, and you've only lost 30ish pounds!"

As more time went on, the more rational side of my brain started coming back into focus. In the beginning, it's easy to lose quite a bit of water weight... especially if you were never really a big water drinker. While 12 pounds in a week doesn't sound healthy TO ME, I have to be proud for her and hope that maybe just maybe this is the ideal plan for her.

sylvie, you have done so much positive work on yourself, and your journey continues to be motivation for all of us. There is nothing wrong with letting the negative out when it creeps in... releasing it enables us to move forward in a positive direction!
