I think people in general are probably sick of their own lives and are always angry because something is not working in their own lives. If instead of getting hurt by their comments we try to understand why they are behaving in such a way and talk to them about their issues not only are we going...

Hi, Hope u are having a great day :) Well I personally believe that other people can give you millions of reasons on why they are trying to loose the weight but at the end of the day it all boils down to why YOU want to loose weight. Us as humans are driven by pleasure and pain. I believe...

Hey honey :hug99: We all have good days and bad days..like they say no two days are the same :) Focus on all the positive things in your life instead of the stuff that is not working out. I know sounds like a cliche but it's all in our head. I used to be depressed ALL the time sometime last...

LOL @ hunting all these ppl down :D FOCUS FOCUS FOCUS :D :D :D :D :bliss:

Yeah I am hoping it gets easier. I think its not the hunger that makes me eat though..just plain simple BOREDOM!!!! LOL!! Right back to work :D

Day one here too and I am starving as well..not to mention bored at work *yawn* I think I am going to go smoke :D :D :D that should take my mind off food..btw can we not even chew sugar free gum???? :(

Well I have been drinking like a fish and running to the loo and back :P Decided to go shopping at lunch time (takes the mind of food :D ) and bought myself really nice black top and shoes to match..hahahaha... Feeling a bit hungry now...I guess I should just drink some more water eh??

Wow..that is amazing..I am trying very hard not to be jealous! LOL!!! :D Enjoy the pampering session :bliss:

Speaking of scales I think I need to buy new ones!!! :D Wish I could go to bed. Feeling a bit sleepy *yawn*

True said Sharon. For some odd reason a lot of us place our happiness on opinions of others instead of relying on ourselves :D I used to do that a lot and had really low self-esteem ( thanks to years of *verbal abuse* from family, ex-husband and general ppl) but last year something snapped and I...

Well I have been up since 4:00 am Sharon but strangely enough I am all buzzed up. That could be contributed to 3 cups of black coffee :bliss: (yes I am a proper javaholic :D ) Love my coffee. Not sure how much water I have had but been going to the loo a lot..hahahaha... My day is coming along...

LOL :D Yup..i know the kind of people u are talking about. No compliments when you loose the weight but the minute you gain some weight they do nothing but talk about it. I even have a friend who makes sure she tempts me or should i say *forces* me to eat everytime she thinks I have lost...

Hey Sammy :) I face a similar situation. My fiance LOVES *big* women and has told me that I shouldn't loose any weight cause chances are he wont find me attractive once I loose all the *curves*. I hate my body and find it soo difficult to feel attractive. As for family..well I haven't even...

cake :D

pot :D

I have a saggy stomach and dimply thighs as well and it depresses me a lot but I would agree with you Russiandoll..would rather have that than a buddha stomach :D :D :D I think once I have reached my target weight I will get some sort of tummy tuck to get the skin removed *grin*

Ok the meeting has been postponed :bliss: :D :D :D God I am soo bad. I should be working ..hahaha.. oh well I am too damn excited today *shrug* Speaking of shakes I had one in the morning but haven't bought any for lunch. Is that a good or a bad thing? I was thinking I will have 2 when i go home

Hey Sharon :D Thanks for the tips. I do have the vanilla and cappucino flavour shakes might give it a try. I guess I will get used to black coffee eventually as well *pout*. How is your day coming along?

Morning everyone :D It's officially my first day of CD as well :D been up since 4:00...all excited and having my first cup of peppermint tea..need to go into a meeting :( Later gator :bliss:

Not a fan of soups myself..I *tested* one and it made me feel really sick :( I think I will be having nothing but shakes for the first 3 weeks and then add bars :)
