This sounds awesome!! A lot of the girls at my treatment center are required to read Brainlock an it's been on my list for forever. I would love a copy of this. I'm really trying to kick my awful eating habits, stop biting my nails, and get a handle on the way I spend money.
If you still have a free copy I would LOVE one!! 🙂

I had to stop eating dairy and soy for my nursing baby and I lost 20 pounds in just 2 months. But the cravings can really be brutal sometimes. And making dinners for my family, I feel like crying every time. Ya, that is pathetic I know. 🙂

I have a problem not eating junk food at night after I put the kids to bed. Ugh! I do pretty well during the day, but nights are super hard for me.

I have such a hard time looking beyond previous bad experiences with someone and not assuming that they still have bad intentions… does that make any sense?

It's all code for: my in-laws have been a bit crazy before and now I don't trust them at all and they think I'm nuts because of it!

1–holding grudges
2–Not enjoying the moments I'm in
3–etc etc etc….

I wish that I could lose my habit of worrying about everything. My husband barely listens to them anymore because they're just so constant. It kind of makes me a stick in the mud, and I hate it.

I seem to do well during the day, but once night rolls around and the kids are in bed, I feel like I need a treat because I survived the night and I end up eating ice cream, chips and salsa and something else!! It's terrible. No wonder I can't lose any weight!

Thanks for being on the tour!

I start something, and halfway through I think of three other things I had started and not finished. So I go try to finish some of those, and get easily distracted. Ugh. 🙂
