I know I haven't been on in a long time-I was in the honeymoon period where the diet was working so well I need less and less medication. I am very thankful for that and the 35lbs I've dropped. Now I find myself in the reality stage where trigger foods look awfully good to me, since I feel much better. I know better than to go back to all those foods and triggers-anyone have any suggestions on how to stay strong???? Maryh

Picture a big thick hunk of a rotting dead cow with all the blood and gristle and fat thrown on a grill. How about a dead pig?

Take a fresh chicken thigh and remove the skin. Look at it, feel it, imagine EATING it.

Take some French fries -- or anything fried and put it on a paper napkin for a minute, then pick it up. That grease look good to you?

Take a jelly donut and squeeze it in your hand, watch the grease dripping down your arm.

Now, think about adding those 35 pounds back on. Get out an old picture of yourself when you HAD all those pounds on you. Wanna have them back again?

Remember back to the worst attack you ever had. Re-live it. Return to the spot where you had it, try to get all those symptoms to return -- just for a moment -- how does that feel?

I think that might do it!

Let's just say I got over my desire to have the occasional sip of red wine or champaigne VERY quickly.
