Hi, Michelle. I see your post is quite old, and I was wondering how you did on Wendy Chant's diet. My sister and I (dad too) went on her regimen in July of 2009. We found it fun (doing it together), energizing, and I even caught myself responding to my sister's comment when she said "it's time for our lunch".....I said "we have to eat, again?" My sister and I both lost the 16 pounds in the first two weeks as she said we would, although my sister took longer to make her first good drop in pounds. Dad just enjoyed our company, since we were spending that summer month with him. I'm a senior citizen now, and believe that support in almost anything you do with uncertainty, is necessary. Wendy's first two weeks were quite healthy eating for me, and there was  not one day that I had all six of the scheduled meals.

As an ex smoker of 11 years I would suggest turning to healthy snacks over cigs. Smoking is such a difficult addiction to break and there is no such thing as a healthy cigarette. Even after 11 yrs I still fight the occasional urge. I am still obese but I was even more obese bk then so don't let your mind go to thinking a smoke will stop u from eating and you'll be skinnier. It doesn't work that way! Healthy cut apples, nuts, seeds carrots celery, cheese other fruits and sugar free mints and gum my help oral cravings. For physical maybe you could do crafts, knitting, painting, coloring or even blogging on line. I once had a Dr who told menthat it was healthier to be obese than to be an obese smoker! Take care and please post again to let us know how you are doing. Deb

What was the day?  The 24th?  Yeah I worked out that day.  Drank plenty of water.  Was a good day!

Just like every other day.

My best advice, don't deny yourself snacks.  just make sure they are healthy snacks.  Your body, like a car, won't move (or even run) without fuel.  But celery sticks fuel your body better then potato chips.  So keep the snacks healthy, and you'll be fine!
