I wholeheartedly agree with Elizabeth. I think limiting yourself to just smoothies is setting yourself up to binge. I remember years ago trying Slim Fast and I got tired of having those shakes every single day. I remember you saying at one time that you both were going to follow the New Mediterranean Diet, which is actually the South Beach Diet. I would strongly encourage it! You can see how it has paid off for Elizabeth and I. Having a variety of different foods to eat is a lifesaver.

Remember that this is a LIFESTYLE change. Take it one day at a time. You guys have done great so far. “Falling off the wagon” is normal and happens. If you fall off at one meal, make it up on the next one. You and Jaron can do this! We love you both and believe in you! Tell Jaron that it is looking as though you will not have to cut a hole in your wall after all to get me through the front door.
