Thanks so much for all of your help. I was getting so frustrated because I've been doing so well in terms of not cheating, I even turned down a million requests to "just try this one piece of homemade candy, it won't hurt your diet" saying, "You don't understand, I eat that and pretty soon I'll be trying to dip the car in chocolate and eat the entire thing in one sitting." But I've been drinking a LOT of water and I'm going to join the gym Monday. Anyway, I woke up this morning and had finally lost another pound. Which makes it a lot easier for me to be good when I go to my dad's for Christmas dinner today! Thanks for being so supportive everyone and Merry Christmas!!!
