I have restarted this diet every day this week. I can't get off the sugar. Cookies, sugar in my coffee are my weakness. I have some Splenda, but not enogh to last me until Friday when my dh gets paid again and I can go grocery shopping. So I have been rationing it. I am a stress sugar eater, and right now my son is going through terrible two's and I am STRESSED. I also have a 2 month old colicky daughter, lol, and our finances look like crap (I'm a SAHM), so my stress levels are out the window.

I so want to lose this baby weight, but I can't make myslef stop. I seriously have withdrawals! I used to be so healthy and fit-- if I was stressed I would go run or exercise. Now I can't get my hind end off the couch to save my life!

Since I'm nursing, I'm basically starting on Phase 2, so that helps some...can I have regular pasta? I haven't gotten the book yet, so I have no idea.

Thanks anyway for letting me vent if you got this far! :)

THANK YOU Susan! We have a lot in common, my kids are 20 months apart.

How can I make my own Fudgecicles and Jello?

We set out for a walk today-- I found a front carrier at a garage sale last wknd for $5 (!), and I had everyone loaded up and ready to go, and dang it if it didn't start raining! So we came back inside and I did 5 minutes of a FIRM tape (baby started crying after that, lol). So I had good intentions and did do SOMETHING.

I will definitely try again tomorrow and throw away the cookies even though it's not frugal, lol. but definitely more frugal than a heart attack!!

Where do I post a daily food journal?

Hi Shannon,


You can post your daily food journal right here under Phase 1.

I just got a Denise Austin walking indoors video... you think that would be just as good as the Walk Away the Pounds?
