    Thanks, Carrie.  I'll check out the website.  I need all the help I can get.  I  know that if I can ever purge all the sugar from my body I will look and feel much better.  I am a long way from avoiding sugar altogether, but I am doing much better.  I actually did better before I stocked up on 100 calorie packs and low fat pudding and ice cream.  That was like giving myself permission to have sweets.  Of course, these are better for me than what I used to eat.  But before I bought them I did without any sugar for 3 or 4 days.  I did have intense cravings but I managed to fight them off.  But, still, having a low fat pudding cup is far better than eating a half bag of M&Ms with peanuts.  I'm getting there though.  I am tempted sometimes to have a snack simply because they are there and I know they taste good.  Except for a couple of instances I have managed to leave them alone except when I was really hungry and needed a snack to hold me until my next meal.  Of course, I know that an apple or a low cal yogurt would have been better for me.  I do keep the low fat yogurt in the fridge too.  If it is really hunger that I am experiencing I know the yogurt will do.  If I don't want the yogurt but reach for the 100 calorie packs I know it is the sugar I really want.  I can't say if I will be able to keep it up over the long haul, but I am actually managing my sugar intake better than I have in years.

    I'm still taking in tons of sugar....  my pregnancy test this morning was negative, but I can't know for sure until Friday....  I keep telling myself tomorrow I'll do better - but I don't.  The plan is to get back on track (either way) once I know for sure if I'm pregnant or not.  I'm not sure why I can't just do it now, since I plan on giving up the junk whether I'm pregnant or not, but I guess thats just the contradiction of me...

    Why do you say O Jacob and complain O Israel, "My way is hidden from the LORD, my cause is disregarded by my God?" Do you not know? Have you not heard? The LORD is an everlasting GOD, the creator of the ends of the earth. He will not grow tired and weary and his understanding no one can fathom. He gives strength to the weary and increases the power of the weak. Even youths grow tired and weary and young men stumble and fall, but those who hope in the LORD will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint. Isaiah 40:27-31 SW: 183 CW:158 GW: 135-140 final goal: to look good in a bikini, to be strong, firm, and healthy, to be a good example to my children and patients, to be at peace with food - to eat when hungry and stop when satisfied and to have my mind full with other things other than food when its not time to eat. Eventually I want to live thin naturally and not have it be a struggle.

    you've lost 33lbs.?? that is awsome.  your just on break and whats great is you have a vision and a plan and will be losing more soon!!  i've lost almost 20 and looking to lose about 5-10 more.  i really want to and with you and everyone elses help i plan to.

    what ever you do, keep in touch and before you know it, you'll be back in the land of the losers.

     i think once you get back off the sugar maybe you will feel better to stay off.  its like the more you eat the more you want i think. its a miserable drug!!  but your an overcommer so it won't be long now.

    love you all

    I'd lost 37 pounds before I went a little nuts.  I had gained 4 pounds the last time I weighed myself.... that was quite a while ago.  I'm guessing I've gained a few pounds since then (I'm pretty sure I have).

    Did I already say that I had a negative pregnancy test this morning?  Anyway, if I didn't already say that, it was negative - I'm gonna test myself once more and if its negative tomorrow, then I'm probably not pregnant.  So.... starting tomorrow - I've got to get back on track!  Its supposed to be beautiful tomorrow so I'm gonna try to go running in the morning.

    Lisa, I know you are going to make this work for you in the end because in spite of yourself you just won't let it go.  You know what you need to do and you dwell on it a lot.  Just keep thinking about what you want to do; what you should do....Believe in yourself.....You really don't have that far to go to reach your goal.  You have a proven track record.  You know you can lose weight.   I know how the sugar can make you go nuts.  The more you eat the more you want.  You'll get a handle on it again.  I'm glad you have decided to exercise again.  Exercise helps with the cravings I think.   I hope you won't be too disappointed if you're not pregnant.  I think you were beginning to get a little excited about it, as of course you would. 

    Hi, Tam....I'd love to see a pic of your big, beautiful family.  You will never be alone.  Gosh, just wait until the grand kids start coming.
