NoSnacker , yes, it does take some adjustment to get used to the light feeling! r.jean , that makes a lot of sense! Thank you for pointing it out.

Whooo! 8.8 pounds down in a month is quite an accomplishment! That also explains why it may have been difficult to do (I think I am remembering correctly that it's been a month of effort for you?).

Yes, it feels a lot more realistic to sometimes include sweets of some kind, with limits. I am still very sick. I don't want to lose the habit, but I have not been up to eating the size of meals I need to eat for only three to suffice. So I am having another S day for being sick today. But I'm not r...

Great job on resisting the temptation of the sweet offered by your husband! I love the goal of the normal relationship with food. I find that this way of eating is very helpful for that.

KL, sounds like you're still doing wonderfully. I admire your choice to wait two days to have the Lara Bars.

Yes, that's true. It implies "no effort," and that is good.
