The craving for cream cheese WILL go away. Don't buy anymore.
You will like being a smaller size better than eating cream cheese

Isn't it great when now you can get to be so busy you don't have time to think about snacks?
Sometimes I have skipped meals because I was just too busy and so thrilled to not even miss them and not be hungry!

* Linda- It was an odd day yesterday, craving salty foods...ate a lot, a lot and a lot of hummus and corn thins. Not sure if I am losing as I am weighing monthly but was out of sorts. Maybe because the meals were not balanced. Today was better.

B- banana
and that was the end of following LDL until dinner. Hormones got the best of me today (been out of sorts for 2 days now) and had noodles and a brownie  . I did make the roasted garlic and butternut squash soup for my DH and I for dinner. Plan for tomorrow is leftover soup and lots of fruit. Oh and starting the day reading my bible  . Do not feel good after eating off plan (heartburn). Much better eating yummy, fresh good foods...will do better and remember the heartburn.
