Thank you!! Thats awsome.[emoji7] ur doing great! I take more pictures now[emoji23] I get you! It is a struggle. Im proud to say i have not tried junk food simply cuz im scared of getting sick. Yes its easy to start eating a lil more and more as days go by. I did get scared once cuz I ate a lil to much and felt like dying. It was enough to keep me away from over eating or bad stuff. But what I do is play with my mind...lol if i crave pizza I make my own coliflower crust pizza..if i crave burgers i make veggie burger for me, pasta ? Butternut squash noodles for me.. my big crave is chips! Ill have like 2 pita chips and crave is done... meal portion/prep is a must for me,always Prepared anywhere I go I carry my stuff. Its the only way to stay focused. Yes im also scared of honeymoon stage ending which is why i try harder.
