My family is in town so I will be busy for the next few days. I don't know how often I'll get to blog, but I will be logging. I had a little slip up today. I had 2 mini cadbury caramel eggs. Ugh. I know it was a small slip, but I hate that i had a slip at all. I really wanted to stay on track. But progress, not perfection is the goal. And I am definitely making progress. I am doing so much better than I did a few weeks ago. It's going to be hard to eat healthy with my family here. But ...Tuesday, April 3rd 2007

Can you tell I've listened to that a few times?Sunday, April 1st 2007
Okay, I'm back on track today. I was worried that it would be difficult to get back on the program after free day, but it was okay today. I remember the first time I tried this challenge. I would wake up the day after my free day feeling so depressed that I wouldn't be able to have icecream or whatever for a whole nother week. But I didn't feel that way today. I felt determined. I will succeed in this. I already am successful. I am in such a different place this time than I was last time...Saturday, March 31st 2007
So today was my first free day with BFL. Interesting. My goal, as I said yesterday, was to not go crazy. I did not have that urgency of a binge. Ya know what I'm talking about? That desperation to get to that forbidden food. It was a calm choice to eat some normally off-limits foods. This morning I had the breakfast that I wanted and planned. I had those roasted almonds that they roast in cinnamon and who knows what else in the mall. That was my lunch-followed by candy. Lots of candy. ...
