Some additional thoughts...

I was going to ask what you are craving? And does it really satisfy you? I have to echo annie with the myfitnesspal. I am not using it right now, but I guess it is two years ago when I took that serious step, I started using it. It really helped me to have a veggie packed salad with a tomato basil dressing at lunch. Where do you live? I am lucky that there is a STeve's pizza in Woodland, so when I started, and now when I need to get back on track, I head there for lunch. It used to be 3.23 for a togo salad and I would pack on so many veggies. The TB dressing has 20-30 calories and is tasty. I know that a salad of this caliber would cost 15 buckeroonies if it were weighed at a 7.99 a pound place. But actually it probably wouldn't because I am not choosing the heavier toppings, but I digress. I too drink the Visalus in the morning. I find it is more affordable and healthier than picking up a bagel, or a scone, which is what i always did with my morning routine. I was a creature of habit... I would get a coffee and a rice crispy treat every morning. Ugh, can't even think about it now. But if I have a shake (I don't get fancy with it, I just mix it with apple/grape 100% juice blend) and I think it starts my day off good. Maybe I am kidding myself and it is just another habitual food option, but I it works for me. I buy them on Amazon, because I couldn't handle the shipping costs through Visalus. If you don't mind, I have shared so much that I am going to copy and paste this to a blog myself, so everyone can read it. Haha, I thought it this was a longer post. I must have been thinking a mile a minute
