THOSE MAY BE TRUE FEELINGS, BUT THE LIE IS THAT YOU CAN EAT WHAT YOU WANT AND NOT FACE OR PAY FOR THE CONSEQUENCES. DON’T GIVE UP AND SAY: STUPID PLAN, STUPID SCHEDULE, STUPID CHAOTIC BOOK, STUPID INGREDIENTS, STUPID RECIPES, STUPID CONFUSING NAMES AND STYLES AND… and… and… STOP IT.

That’s the beautiful thing you discovered when you began implementing the plan and trying out all the ideas and found some truly delicious recipes you enjoyed!! Remember? Yes, before the Cadbury eggs… before the Valentine’s Kisses… before the Christmas cakes-cookies-pies-fudge-candy… before you gave into the lie that you don’t really care anymore anyway.

You’re so welcome, Karen. I’m thinking we’re not alone here on this. I am trying to be diligent to not give in…….. and it’s so hard for me this time. I cannot believe that for *months* I did not deviate from the plan—even though it meant eating the same basic things over and over and over again day after day—even though I was making cakes, catering meals and cooking for our large family. And then… yes… and then I didn’t. God bless your journey! That’s my prayer for each one of us attempting to attain and enjoy healthful meals, proper weight and healthy lives.Thanks for commenting.
