Just a thought...on saying NO

Does anyone else feel like once they "messed up" you end up saying "what the hell, I better go all the way"? I have just realized that I am one of those people. I have a good willpower or whatever you want to call it, but once I slip....that's it.

Last night, as I was thinking about that after eating a piece of chocolate "because" I didn't do very well today (food-wise), I realized that I may also be doing that on other aspects of my life.

So from now on I am setting myself to think more about, why I'm giving in, or why I can't say no.

I can relate completely to what you are saying in some areas of my life. In the area of food, one thing to remember about eating this way is that after a while, your body starts to become detoxed to the point that some of those foods aren't as satisfying any longer. The book says this, and it has happened to me. Now on Phase 3, while

Shawna, I keep a canister of nuts under the passenger seat for these emergency situations, where I would otherwise find myself in a drive-thru line.

I did that once in the beginning but I felt like such crap afterwards I won't do it again.
