Sparrow: I started yesterday too, and struggling today too, I really wanted to go have a breakfast sandwich, but then I looked in the mirror and asked myself, when are you just going to stop.... this is hard right now, however once we are on day 3 it will be good, and on day 4 we will be so excited that we pressed on and finally broke the chains. It will be easier for me now that I have seen your message. So many people just keep dropping off the radar and it is so hard for me to start if I don't see messages, but I cannot look like this anymore, I need to keep going. I am an emotional eater too, that's what got me here, don't get me wrong I absolutely have an addiction to food and wine however it's the emotions that gets me eating too much and too often :( Either way, when each of us are getting that way, we can just log on and let the other person know and even if we just put a smiley face :) and write keep going !!!, that might help!!!!!
