Ok people say i look good now, lots say could put on another 10lb, doctor and i agree could lose another 12 then would be at goal goal.

So how do i stop myself from going backwards and having that one to many snack now and dont eat the more high calories and keep up with the excercise? Dont want to feel like hey i look good now can have that extra piece of cheese etc, seen it happen to so many people before.HELP!

It is tempting, isn't it? The only way I manage is to not keep any attractive food in the house. I have stuff for meals, but nothing yummy to snack on. I get my treats in one-serving portions, like a single ice cream cone or one cookie from the bakery. I don't bring home a half gallon of ice cream or a package of Cookies. I know I'm still an out of control eater underneath it all, and I just would eat it all if it were around.

Yep good idea, i have already swapped to portioned servings, even though more expensive, but like the other night went through a few portioned servings - ahh.

Oh yeah, I would do that--eat several packs. So I didn't mean buying treats packaged in one serving portions, but buying one portion of treats--a single candy bar, rather than a bag of candies. One cookie, rather than a box. I can't depend on myself to say no, once it's there and the craving hits, so I have to be sure it's not there.
