Thanks for your advice Sky. And Amy don't apologize for the post. I have experienced that too. It is so darn frustrating. I ate 149 calories more than what I burnt at the gym and I am feeling so terribly guilty. So you know what i did...I ate a fricken cereal bowl FULL of strawberries....Hopefully it will work as a natural lax, but this cycle is very difficult to break. I know what it is to feel desperate, but hang tough the end has got to be out there. ((hugs)) to you both, Beth
