Oh you all are motivating me!!! I am still walking 45 min in the morning but still hating it - I am going to try portion control - Kathy your food portions seemed so small (for your diet) but, again, that was after I had pigged out all day - I read the posts this morning and had cottage cheese and fruit as Tony fixed himself eggs benedict - by 1 pm I moved on to a ham and swiss on rye (always with a diet TAB) and have been picking ever since - tonight pork chops and mashed potatoes - so tomorrow is another day right????
