That's the whole point of having this diary. It's not all about what you did or didn't eat. The emotional factor is one of the most important things. I would like to make a suggestion to you. Do not constantly deprive yourself of things you like. Find a way to alter it or adjust other things to allow for it. If you want ice cream, have some. Get some that is "light" or get sherbet or sorbet. I know sometimes I just want REAL ice cream. I get the little single serve cups or an ice cream bar. If you constantly deprive yourself you will become frustrated and resentful of those around you that are having those things. It's all a matter of making healthy choices. If you decide to have ice cream, fine. Just make plans to cut back on your other carbs and fats that day. Remember it's a lifestyle not a diet. It should be making you feel good, not unhappy. Check out FitDay.com It's a free program that will make it easier to monitor what you're doing and help you learn to keep things in balance so you can still enjoy life. It's really helped me alot and the other people I've talked to who have used it have said the same. Going from a 14 to a 4 in 5 months is a pretty big goal. Try not to push it to hard. If you lose it too fast you may end up losing muscle instead of fat and that is definitely not healthy. I'm not trying to discourage you, I'm just saying keep on working and accept any success for what it is and don't beat yourself up if it's not as fast as you would like. Feel free to use your diary to vent as much as you like. That's what it's here for and we are here for you too. :grin:
