R2 P2 VLCD2 and dealing with the temptation of others

Wow! I awoke to a weight loss of 4.2 today! That makes me feel a lot better after being such a pig on our Disney trip! I figure by the end of the week I will be down to my LIW from R1. I am already feeling much better and just an overall cleaner feeling. My jeans I bought 2 weeks ago were loose yesterday. I am going to go broke buying new clothes. I may have to just wear yoga pants for a while and give up on buying new denim until the New Year. I was on the phone with my Mom yesterday who was asking what she should get everyone for Christmas and I told her that I wanted a gift certificate to a clothing store. Hopefully, I will have a reason to go out and get some new clothes! Another blogger brought up the topic of someone eating infront of her and the temptaions that it brought on. I thought I would share how I deal with that situation. When someone eats infront of me something that I can't have I find it helpful to imagine what that is doing to their body. For example, if someone was eating a cheeseburger infront of me I imagine how the grease and fat dripping off of it is sticking to the walls of their arteries and how that big lump of meat is sitting in their bowels giving them a bloated, painful distended belly. I know it sounds wierd but it works. I did it when I quit smoking 10 years ago and it really helped. The more graphic I paint the picture the better it works. Does anyone else do this?
