And I still feel great and in control.... I absolutely love this program.  I sucessfully conquered shopping with the girls for the day, having suppers at friends houses, happy hours and a tad bit of  boredom.  I don't know where this inner strength and control comes from but I can tell you now that I found it I will never let it go... every day, every minute, every meal that I eat the NS way gives me added control...feeling this good feels way better then feeling overweight and all the bad feelings that come with that.  And I'm even ok with the 6 lb loss (actually I'm thrilled... when I started I thought I'd be down at least 10 by now).  This tells me I must be learning to control my obsession with the scale and not allowing it to influence me!  Yay Me !!
