I have lost flab and gained muscle and inner strength. To the scale that claims I have gained....Get lost!

I really admire you Carrie. I can't wait until I no longer want that piece of pie. My coworker is bringing one tomorrow to our party and it's going to be so hard! I'm already drooling dreaming of the different pies it could be.
It's great that you have changed so much emotionally. I know that it will lead you to bigger and better things in your life -and to your guy if he's not completely blind to how great you are. When you talk about your interactions with your guy I think to myself I've been there. I inherited my fathers temper, and when it springs up it's nasty and rash and loud and I hate acting like that. And it springs up when I get defensive about myself and I feel unlovable and I push my guy away.
I'm thankful somehow he has the patience to stay with me and to help me deal with the real issue (how I feel about myself and my body) as well as both of us taking the time to learn how to be in a mature and loving relationship. It doesn't just happen easily -it takes time and effort and communication. You obviously have the drive to change and the communication to keep it going -and I really hope it turns out well in time.
On another note -the serving sizes of most salad dressing are per 2 Tablespoons. I think you'll be suprised at how much dressing that really is. Plus if you are eating a vinegarette dressing you can always add some lemon or lime juice to help season the salad without adding fat. As for crackers, that's where I turned to those GG brand Crispbreads I talked about in another thread. Sometimes you have to have something to munch. It's a cracker not bread, but better for piling snacks on top of than eating plain. I'd suggest also cucumber slices as a substitute. I know not the same flavor, but you can eat so many of them for so few calories it will help to fill you up.
Best of luck with that job interview, I really hope it goes well for you. I'll be here pullin for you!
