Discouraged/Encouraged

I get so discouraged sometimes, I guess we all have our moments. I feel like I have let myself down with all of the cheats since I have started this diet. I was sooooo motivated before I started, bought my scale for myself and to weigh my food so I know I am getting the right amount, planned my meals and snacks for the week, it was going so great. Me not meeting my goal is my own fault and I accept responsibility for that. I want to find that motivation again, I don't know where it went. The only thing I am sticking with it seems like is just drinking my water. I haven't given in to having a soda since 1/13, that for me is a big accomplishment. I still have several months to meet my overall goal of 60lbs by Memorial Day, but it would be wonderful if I could get there before then. I get great advice and support from all of my facebook friends, especially the ones at affordablhcgdiet. (look the page up on FB and you will see they are there for you always no matter what) My kids, John see me starting to slip up and they get onto me, when I have a loss no matter how big or small my youngest gives me a high five (she is 11) and says yaaayyyy mommy great job, are we going to walk today? My other two and John don't get as excited as she does but still have encouraging things to say. Someone mentioned on one of my statuses that she can relate and realizes how bad her food addiction is.....well I am the same way. The cravings is what gets to me the worse, because I crave when I am not hungry.  I will stay strong for a little bit and most of the time the craving will go away.....but then there are the times that it doesn't go away and I give in to temptaion....just a little bit won't hurt.....well it does. I need to figure out a way to turn those cravings around and find something to satisfy the bad that I want to eat and turn it in to healthy. I know once I get to the last phase of the diet, I can eat pretty much anything I want, just portion control and I can't eat that way everyday. I ordered some "sweets" from the Walden Farms website and some other things that I think may help a lot with the cravings and help turn me around. Especially the chocolate and carmel dip.....it will feel like a cheat but it is really healthy for me. I will keep everyone posted on how that works, but I got the idea from others on the "loser support page" I was so excited when I finally figured out that we can have anything from Walden Farms on our diet, some more good ideas from everyone on how to use them as well. I haven't weighed myself this morning but as of yesterday I have lost a total of 10.8 pounds and 3 inches around my waist. My jeans are getting looser, and John has noticed that. People at work....ehhhh..they notice the loss around my face.....but I wear a shirt and a big hoodie and a coat....soooo they will be in for a big shock when spring arrives!! Hope everyone has an amazing day and stay strong!!!!
