Today instead of beating yourself up because you have had a glass of wine or a piece of chocolate stop for a moment..................
Think about how far you have come since Day 1, Look back and think of it as a journey, Think about how all those 'baby steps' have added together, Pat yourself on the back and think of a job well done, Think about the Flabulous support and friendship you have given each other in the past and how it will continue in the future!

Good Morning Foxie
What a lovely and true sentiment 
The thing we must not forget is:
WE ARE NOT N A DIET . 
Nothing is bad as long as we eat/drink slowly and enjoy every mouthfull and Stop When full....

Good morning ladies - I am full of a cold today. OH gave me his man flu but obviously it is down graded to a cold when it reaches me 
Great post Foxie,very true. I've never felt so involved before. Nothing has ever worked in quite the way this has. I am not fixating on any foods (or wine!) and I know that at any time I can ask you ladies a question or just ask for support and it is always there. I'm not even obsessing about my weight, I'm just enjoying feeling better.
Thanks for being flabuless ladies.x

Hello Foxie, Gilley, Spanishlady and Patsy! Thanks for starting us off today, Foxie - all of those sentiments are well worth bearing in mind, but I think, above all, the support and friendship we give each other is so wonderful. So - thank you all for that.

Foxie, thank you so much for encouraging and supporting us! You're right - this has been a great journey! We've learned a lot and made many friends along the way, and now we continue together.
The things we've learned make such a difference - I really fancied a pastry with my morning coffee (something I haven't had for months), but remembered AllyL's advice about cutting it up small- so I cut it in half, cut one half into little pieces and ate them slowly. the other half remains untouched, I felt satisfied - and enjoyed the pastry more because it was in dainty little pieces, nicely arranged on the plate! (Perhaps if I'd had a doiley I would have only eaten a quarter )
After today, I won't be around for a couple of days, so think of me and send me lots of positive thoughts, please!

Foxie, thanks for starting us off today. Those of us who've been doing this a while really appreciate the way you bring a fresh input to our threads.
I feel I really am on baby steps. I've had a challenging weekend, but tomorrow is another day, and I've lost quite a lot of weight not dieting. I'm truly grateful for the support.
Chickadee, will be thinking about you tomorrow. Good luck, and I hope you are feeling well.
Linby, isn't it wonderful having Amber? I'm sure she is worth her weight in gold to you.
Brandyqueen, you'll get there.
Here's hoping we all have a great week.
