Lessons learned (to date) -- and that I need to remember -- while on the Cheat System Diet:
-- If I'm going to eat a Cheat, eat the real thing -- no substitutes. I won't be satisfied with substitutes.
-- Load up on eats BEFORE going to events where there will be (seemingly!) unlimited Cheats, e.g., Mexican restaurants' 'bottomless' tortilla chips bowls!
-- The Energy Soup is where it's at! Delicious, nutritious, extremely filling, and excellent for losing weight.

| About me: |
I'm a 38 y/o female, 5' 6", starting weight 147; married with no human children but do have the other kind: one dog and two kitty-heads! Since being married – four years now -- I’ve gained 20+ pounds. Since then, I've had more "Tomorrow is the start of a new me" days than I can count! What has finally started working for me: Being an active member of Peer Trainer and following The Cheat System Diet. So grateful for both!
