Elana,

Sweetie I know how frustrating it can be but you need to look at how

far you have come. A year ago weren't you like 230? It is also

important to remember, you are not perfect and this is a lifestyle. You

aren't going to go the rest of your life without cookies. So even

though I know with your medical condition you are supposed to avoid

them maybe instead of an all or nothing approach allow yourself a

certain amount so you don't feel so deprived. And just because you have

some doesn't mean all the work you have done is undone. Instead of

getting mad at yourself try to learn from it. If it is so hard to go

completely without then allow yourself maybe like one day a week to

have some. Then you have that to look forward to. But don't get so mad

at yourself. You are human and habits take awhile to change. You said

you got on the treadmill the other night? That's great! Maybe every

time you want a cookie you could take a drink of water and get on the

tread for like 5 min. If you still want it go ahead but only have one.

I really believe portion control is key. Learning that discipline. You

can do this! One day at a time. We are here for you!

Take care,

Gena
