Congratulations to you! I believe you'll find it easier now to give yourself

permission to enjoy the foods you love AND still lose weight. That's the

beauty, the glory, of the Weight Watchers program! Fear is our enemy -- but

caution is our friend! I remember the many fears I've overcome along the

journey and the joy of discovering that I do not have to give up my favorite

treats forever. I love being able to enjoy pizza every Friday night, and

with careful planning, going out for meals with my family and friends.

But.... part of the process also involves learning about ourselves.... what

foods do we seriously have to avoid? You know what I mean?....what we call

Trigger Foods or Red-Light Foods.....the ones that trigger a binge. The

ones that for some reason we can't make ourselves stop eating, if we allow

that first bite or small portion. Even now, 18 months into this, I

sometimes discover a food that I wasn't aware was a Trigger for me. I have

a feeling this journey doesn't end when we reach goal, but rather it will be

a lifetime of discovery and realization and confronting fears and triggers,

but hopefully a lifetime of overcoming and succeeding!

You did good!

Hugs,

Bette
