^ Kat, microwave packet rice and cooked rotisserie chicken aren't free foods
OP, I would suggest you stay to your group, that way you can assess the damage that has been done and can get the strength to fix it. I do believe that going to group keeps you going on the plan week after week, and the continual falling off and not going to group and 'starting again' mentality is more of a waste of money than going to group and seeing a gain.
Nothing worth having ever came easy, so swallow your impatience and get some determination.
