I am also still OS free. So far, so good. I also have been wondering how Dave is doing. I do hope that he's okay. Maybe he'll be back soon. Way to go, Ananda & Jack. You're right Roxie, about the difference in how you are responding to sweets now, being so different than your usual response, being a very important VICTORY !!!! Progress, not perfection. You will and we will keep on improving steadily, if we just keep getting up and trying again, instead of throwing in the towel. Let's just keep coming back here and sharing our struggles with each other. Complete abstinence is best for me too, Ananda. It seems as soon as I touch something sweet to my tastebuds, it like reawakens the ugly beast within me and I have so, so, so much trouble reining it in once again. I would like to be able to steer clear of any & all OS, because I'm afraid that one of these times, I might not be able to reign the beast in again.
