Hey all,

I was arranging my beautifal packages of Medifast and Crystal light, and got to looking at the CL container, it HAS to have a use I am thinking...thinking that thing I do WAY too much of. Anyhow, today I saw alot of newbies struggling with old friends (foes donuts etc). I thought you know we each want thinness for very personal reasons, things we may not say in the forum, but say inside. SO each time I say, oh I want to be able to rum with my kids, or fit in that CUTE outfit, I will write it on a slip of paper and put it in my cute Ctystal Light container. When I need to get past a craving I vow to myself, read the contents, then decide if I want to cheat.

So what do you think? Anyone with me?

I will call my can THE 'I CAN' CAN, my hopes, dreams, wishes, etc will
be on the can. I think I may have another can to hold my accomplishments, like 1 day on, 5 lbs lost, THOSE pants fittting.

I may even add a photo of before in there, that will scare the craving right out of you.

PS for all of the Medifastville fans out there, there is a new song in the works a parody of Redneck Woman, you guessed it Medifast Woman, the opening line will remain, I ain't ever been the Barbie Doll type, with a line like that it should be fun.

Sounds like a great idea!

I have a little notepad, and everytime I get a craving, I write down the name of the food there. For some reason it helps. Like I had it, it was good, and now I can move past the craving.

Great idea! :idea:

I think I'll try that. I also use what I call my Dollar Jar. I cleaned the wax out of the beautiful glass container that large candles come in, got about $100.00 worth of dollar coins and fifty-cent pieces, and every day that I stay on program I put a dollar coin in. If I exercise that day, I put in the fifty-cent piece. If I slip, I don't get to put in a dollar, and if I blow it, I give away the dollar PLUS one from my jar. It's fun and rewarding to see those coins fill up the jar!

I got the idea from Linda Spangle, who wrote Success In a Shaker Jar.

I think it's a GREAT idea! I also like the money jar! Just think of all the thinny clothes you can buy when the jar fills up!

I love the note idea! I personally found these new post-it note photo paper things. I printed a photo of myself at my highest weight. I took some photo software and wrote "NEVER AGAIN" on the bottom and stuck that sticker to the fridge. If that's not motivation, I don't know what is! I made one for my travels too!

I think anything we do to remind ourselves our reasons not to cheat AND our triumphs (even if it's making it 3 hours without cheating!) is wonderful!

Wow I love the other ideas, especially the money jar, that is a nice little start to a vacation, gee I think I will do the 1 dollar a day, plus make my husband pay in each time I drop 10. I think that is worth it to him :roll:

I am 3 meals in haha, can not wait to tray all my products. BTW all my product arrived today after the little wrong delivery, so I have everything at my finger tips.

EXCEPT

Where do I find the little sheet to print off that has water consumed shakes consumed, how you feel. I would really appreciate some directions on finding it again! Thanks all
