I’ve shared how the month of April was the pits. Even throughout the horrific month, I managed to not succumb to every pastry, cookie or fried food that was available. It wasn’t easy but it was certainly smart.

Learning to not rely on food as comfort during stress isn’t easy. There is a reason that sad women (me included) have a reputation of sitting on the couch and eating a pint of Ben & Jerry’s ice cream while wiping our tears.

My first month (March 2013) on Shaklee180 was so successful (lost 5 lbs and loads of inches) that I was able to face the hospital cafeteria and the platters of desserts sent to our home with a smart attitude. I looked and smelled the french fries but the thought of eating any sort of disgust me. I would far rather have serving of hummus and carrots for a 1/5 of the calories and non of the guilt. You?
