You can do this. Just diarize. Stay within your point range but if you go over 1-2 times a week (up to 200 cal. over) you will still lose or maintain. A word of caution keep off the carbs. Even though peanuts are of to eat, they are high in fat. If you eat the suggested serving size and not over that amount you will be ok. Just diarize everything that goes in, weigh and measure and you WILL be succesful!

I just started two days ago and so far not doing so well. Have more red areas than green, but I keep trying day-by-day. I know it is so hard, been on this track off an on my whole life. Sounds like you are doing good, I know how hard it is to control the emotional eating. I still haven't figured that one out yet. Just take each day as it comes and you will do it.

I have the same relationship with food I love it especially chips. It is the food addiction devil on your shoulder you deserve to be healthy and like the way you look, hang in there.
