That really uses up a lot of psychic energy. I know it sounds simplistic to say but if you could somehow find a way to make a habit of eating the way you hope to eat for the rest of your life, the guilt would evaporate. It does take practise and determination, among other things. I wish you all the best, Beth. The big morale killer is guilt. That really uses up a lot of psychic energy.

I don't know if it was the act of coming clean (and thus off-loading the guilt for seeming to be dishonest) or starting to do some glutamine between meals, but I'm feeling much better today. Making it over that first hurdle really seems to be the hardest part. Thanks again!! Thanks everyone for your support!

There are a few people that read my blog daily - I count on that. Like having your WW leader see your weight, putting my eating out there helps me get back up when I've fallen down.

I just went through a phase like that. As much as I hate the term, sometimes I find I have to use that willpower - just saying no to myself. It can be so hard to get back into it.

Cut out all the carbs etc. It's kind of rough to do. The only thing I can think of is to throw out all the bad food in your house so you can't get it and avoid any places that serve it if you can, though you probably already know that. Good luck! If you did it once you can do it again. I know under the South Beach Diet this is the time you’d go back into Phase I to ‘detox’ yourself so to speak.

Anyway, you're a fantanstic writer, and you're doing a fantastic job. Keep up the good work! You'll win this fight in small moments, not in the big ones that come on Monday mornings or on the first of each month. Believe me, I struggle too. But when I remember that, it really helps me understand that yes, even though I've eaten too much today, it is a victory to have a healthy dinner. Fighting the "all or nothing" mentality has been extraordinarily difficult for me, and reminding myself that this moment, when I'm reaching into the fridge for a carton of ice cream, is one of those moments in which I can either prove to myself that I've changed, or that I haven't. You can do this! You're doing this already. Keep up the great work, you are truly an inspiration. Sara Hi,
