Oops...I meant to say "so much WORK." Guess I should have read it before I hit the send button! :)

Hey, thanks for the ad and the nice message. How much weight are you trying to lose (if you don't mind my asking)? Counting calories is a lot of work. I don't do that anymore. Have you considered a different type of weight loss program? I have found that choosing healthy foods naturally reduces the amount of calories you take in, and it isn't so much. It also gives you more freedom and reduces the level of frustration...at least that has been my experience. I know it can be frustrating, the holidays are always hard. I gained back 3 of the 5 pounds I had lost over Thanksgiving. But I'm not giving up...I think we have to realize and accept that there will be struggles, but the important thing is that we bounce back and don't let it make us feel like we failed...we haven't failed, we have lived. It is normal and okay to go off for a bit, so don't beat yourself up about it! I wish you all the luck in the world, and I'm pulling for you! If you get discouraged, shoot me an e-mail and I'll get right back to you. Take care!
