One year as a treat for my birthday - I requested no cake - so a friend got me something she knew I loved - I had smoked salmon as a treat with a candle shoved in it - it was awesome and I enjoyed it all the more knowing I had made a healthier choice. Protein, raw fruits and veggies - I have to avoid bread and cheese the most - and pizza is like my most favorite thing in the world! Sugary treats too - I haven't had a donut in eons. Congratulations on taking care of yourself on your birthday and for letting us know you better.

Does anybuddy else have a harder time abstaining during summer holidays? I wonder. I think any day that NORMIES go all out and party-hardy are rough on those who have come to a decision that although they would LOVE to party, they can no longer do it successfully.

I can avoid "Slippery people, slippery places." You can't - you gotta eat! I admire your courage, Lo. Addiction is addiction - but I think your is a bit tougher to address - you are constantly surrounded by your "Drug of Choice." Pickle.

Strangely, I think part of it for me is the weather. I think it goes back to being a kid and having the summers off school; summer is supposed to be a time of freedom? New Years, on the other hand, isn't a trigger for me at all.
