Smilesong, sorry to hear you are having problems. Please let me know if you ever need anything. You can do this! You will do this! We are here for you. 

THANK YOU!!! Been having some REALLY vivid cravings lately and no energy to go to the gym. I finally bought the L-glut to see if that helps. We'll see. Could the body actually have memories of eating cherry pie so strong that it makes me go to the store and stare at it???? Oh god! 

Not sure about your physical self, but your mental self remembers good things it associates with them. Whenever I think fudge, I think of Christmas. Those are such wonderful memories. Try whatever you can to disassociate yourself with those memories or apply the memories to something other than food. I know its hard but you'll be there. 

I do completely understand.. there are times I have had cravings so bad I start to smell and can almost taste what i'm craving.. and it makes me really cranky when I can't have it.. but I nearly always overcome the craving without just giving in to it.  

I hope things work out for you! 

I have a suggestion, everytime I crave, I try to remember everything that improves when I'm thin: #1 sex - women´s pleasure starts in her mind, so if you feel sexier and prettier you will enjoy yourself more, isnt that totally worth it? ;) #2 appearance - when you are lighter, clothes fit, you feel less frustrated and you tend to care more for your appearance. #3 general health - thats the most important - aches, pains, discomfort, bad hair, bad smells, you name it, all these improve... #4 Visualize - See your self thinner, use photoshop if you like and make yourself thinner :) Look, it is working for me, try it yourself. Dont lose heart, you want to be thin more than you want that cake :p I wish success to all
