Although i must say i know a few people that 'dumping' to them just means feeling sick and stomach upset.....so it may be differnt for u...but if not im telling u this is a great way to solve ur problem

Ohhh I am so glad you decided to join us! We need a man around! lol We had one but he disappeared. You are doing so great. I am having cravings a lot too. Mostly for M&M's. They are my weakness. They never taste as good as they look though. I am 3 pounds from goal so I am trying to remember that every time I reach for a snack. I also notice i can eat more. I was having a hard time getting more than 2 ounces in up until a couple of weeks ago and then it was like my stomach just opened up and I'm able to eat 4-5 ounces now!! Its a scary feeling for me!! I hope you are able to find something to curb your cravings.

Good to hear from you Jason. Welcome to the August board and congratulations on your incredible weight loss! I too am finding this requires more self control the further out I get. I worry every day that I might let my craving to eat (not true hunger, just wanting to eat) get the best of me. I hope I don't lose that fear.....what else would keep me from regaining? Eating out is a big problem for me....I eat too much and don't always make the best choices. For that reason, I try to avoid eating out now although it has always been one of my great pleasures. I also have to keep all foods I have a weakness for out of the house....for example, the little 100 cal packs of snacks might work for some people but, I can open 2,3,4 packs as easily as I can open one! I may have to wait a short while between servings because of my pouch but they will be calling my name as long as they are in the house. I am a weak person but getting stronger and still losing weight! Donna Kay
