Hi,

I'm JoAnn and I feel like I'm a heroin addict! My teeth hurt from
eating so much sugar and I feel horrible! I'm only 5 feet tall so
last Dec. when I hit 140 pounds (I've always weighed around 102 -
107 in my younger days!) I knew I had to do something.

I had an incentive of a going on vacation. So I did the Southbeach
Diet, and hit the gym 6 days a week! By Feb. I was down to 127 and
feeling better than I had in a long, long time. I had muscle! I
had energy!

After returning from vacation I slowly went back to my bad habits of
sugar and TV watching. I need help! I KNOW how bad the processed
carbs are for me and yet ... I guess I'm eating for comfort. I'm
going on another bathing suit vacation at the end of October and
you'd think that would motivate me, but with a little over a month
to go I'm just not that motivated.

Right now my weight is 134

someone brought in 2 boxes of donuts I ate one

I exercised on Sat. for over an hour
took my dog for a long walk Sunday
couch potato Monday and today
goal for next week is to exercise at least 4 days!
and start doing the Southbeach diet on Monday.

If anyone has some tips on how to avoid sugar or what to do when you
get an insatiable craving please let me know!
