I read this thread religiously, but am just not up to posting yet. I haven't dared step onto a scale because it's so depressing, but I am living a life of deprivation (in my mind, anyway). Truly, I fantasize every meal on what fattening treasures i want to eat, and then I go grab a nutritious cereal bar or fix a salad (which I do love).

One day, I'll work up to the scale thing. Just not yet.

I am so impressed by all the dedicated weight-losers here!!!
