Welcome Back, Cyndi! Those baby steps feel really really good. And it is hard to adhere to it when you're under all that stress. If you work so many hours, you get hungry and grab the wrong things for the satisfaction and reward of working so hard.

I have been surrounding myself with good foods to make it easier to stick to the program and I am not allowing myself to get hungry by snacking (lots of fruit and yogurt on JC).

I am officially down 9 lbs in 3 weeks. Yesterday was the first of birthday celebrations for me. My friends asked where they could take me to eat. I picked a seafood restaurant and had a salmon filet, broiled and steamed veggies. And 4 bites of the dessert. Delish and I was proud of myself. I made them take the bread from out in front of me. I won't make the 15 lbs goal before I leave for Italy, but, the progress I am making, I do not want to lose momentum and I am really going to watch my portions when I am there.
