May I present a 'bunch of flowers' to all the wonderful ladies on this forum (I haven't come across any men) Where are you???

It is an amazing feeling to know that I (and I am sure this applies to most of you) have all this support out there.

Until now I have been the ultimate in 'secret eaters' or secret diet breakers. I would not even tell my husband - because I felt so bad -so weak!!!!

And now - what a feeling to know that there are all of you out there that will accept my slips, my weaknesses and just encourage!! (Yes I know it makes it easier that it is all anonymous ) What a relief!!!

Thanks - Love Shira

You are so sweet! This is a great group of ladies, I agree. Theres no one I know dieting, so definitely no one I know doing CAD, so its nice to know I can come here and be with 'my people'
(((HUGS))) for the group!!

What a beautiful sentiment to begin the day with! Thanks for the flowers!

It is amazing to come to a place so supportive and accepting of our challenges and failings and successes. It's like a lifeline full of people who REALLY get it.

You've both started my day off with a smile....

It is very refreshing to come in here and talk about when we mess up. Like I said on another thread, Atkins boards are full of people who act like they have never "fallen" and would never do that so as to snub anyone who has had a weakness. I would never do that to someone else even "if" I hadn't or wouldn't ever slip, it doesn't make that person feel any better about cheating. No encouragement with some of those people. I am so glad I came here.

I have only been on the boards for a short time and I agree
it is a good place to be. Mess up? I sure do. All of your
post are helpful and very encouraging. Dana

I am sending out some flowers and some sunshine to all the CADers out there! Its been an interesting month, and I appreciate reading all the encouraging posts aswell! Thanks to all those who stop by other journals, reply to out questions and share experiences!

Thanks so much for the kudos and the sunshine. Both are much appreciated. I think we're a helpful bunch here.
