I hope each and every one of you knows just how amazing you are!! We are all strong and in this TOGETHER!! Sweets may look good but they are just like those notorious bad boys that every girl wants - looking delicious and yummy on the outside but soooo bad for you in the long run!! Lol! I don't know if this will help you guys but it has helped me out on some occassions. It is going to sound silly but sometimes, when I want an ice cream or a cookie, I squint my eyes and picture it as a ball of fat. And then I picture myself swallowing that ball of fat and it going straight to my thighs (which is where it looooves to go!) and the swallowing part stops me 80% of the time! Regardless, you guys are all doing great and keep it up! We are here for each other!

1. You are NOT alone! That's the beauty of this site....we can all help each other.

3. My exercise buddy told me about jello with banana's so I tried it. I sliced up a half banana, used a spoonful of whip cream and sprinkled some chopped up pistachio's and wahlaa....it was my healthy version of a 'sundae'  It totally satisfied my sweet tooth. I find drinking water helps too. SF has some great snacks that are like 'candy'. The peanut butter one is like a butterfinger candy bar. Yum. You are right, as each day passes, you WILL get stronger. This program works and you have support 24/7 right at your fingertips. Don't ever hesitate to reach out....it has helped me stay motivated and I am on Day 66 and going strong. Have a wonderful day!

LoL! I do the same thing. But I usually (try) eat fruit, I did it last night. It kills me to not get to have sweets (chocolate). I might try and do the jello thing to =]. Keep up the good work, at least you stuck to 10 jelly beans and not the whole bag. Good luck!

Okay I know this is going to sound really ridiculous and a lot of ya'll are going to laugh but... 

 I am trying to stay on track but my weakness is sweets. To curb those cravings I have been eating motts applesauce and jello. Today though I ate about 10 jelly beans....

and I just feel really bad :(\
