[QUOTE="SearchingForRainbows, post: 46823, member: 3388"] Jo, I know what you mean - It's hard to stick to a diet when you have a family to feed. husband used to be really bad about me being so careful. He would constantly want to go out to an Italian restaurant or bring home a pizza. I finally really yelled at him a number of years ago. I explained to him that he can eat what he wants but I'm going to watch what goes into my mouth. He used to tell me I was no fun because I wouldn't indulge with him. After I explained to him how angry it made me when he kept trying to get me to eat what he wanted, he stopped. He finally got the message. Every now and then he'll still slip up though. Usually he is good about it. I always eat a salad with dinner. If I make a pasta dish, I just serve myself less on a smaller plate. If I make garlic bread to go with it, I just don't eat it. I am a major chocoholic!!! I buy junk food for my kids that I don't like. Believe it or not, usually I'm a picky junk food eater!!! (I do slip up if I'm eating because of emotional reasons - but that's a whole different thread). I guess I should be glad I'm usually so picky!!! Anyway, I don't really think there is such a thing as willpower. I think eventually, if there is something lying around that you LOVE, you'll eat it. Or, even worse, eat everything in sight but not what you really want. This is even worse because you still won't be satisfied... If you love coconut icecream, what about mixing some fruit into it? I do this with frozen yogurt all the time. I feel like I've eaten more than I really have. It works for me. I like Barbara's idea. I usually keep a swimsuit handy at all times. Putting it on gives me the motivation to stay on track. I also force myself to get on the scale when I don't want to. Every now and then I need a bit of a reality check... You are determined. You will lose those 12lbs.!!! I know I've said this before, but I really like this saying, so I'll repeat it again - "Nothing tastes as good as being thin feels". Someone I used to work with a long time ago taught me this one. I think she got it from Weight Watcher's. You are determined to lose those last 12lbs. You WILL do it!!! I think you're doing a great job. Losing weight and keeping it off is a lifetime commitment. It is almost as hard as raising difficult children!!! [img]:rofl:[/img] Keep us posted on your progress.
