Hi there Gail,
First of all ((cuddles)) and now for some tips.
Being in the right frame of mind is a huge thing, which unfortunately we can't bottle, but you can write down how you're feeling and why you want to achieve it to look at on the days you might be prone to a wobble.
Planning is the single most important thing that helps me stay on track. If I know what is going into my mouth when or what the best options are when faced with a time when I am not in control of the food I can cope. If I don't plan then those are the times I am prone to eating first and pointing later, which is never a good thing in my experience.
Always remember that a bad day doesn't have to turn into a bad week, just get back within your points the very next day.
I make a big batch of 0 point soup to fill up on when I have hungry days, it takes minutes to reheat so it is ultra fast food!
Let other people know you're losing weight, often we hide our dieting from others because we don't want to be embarrassed if we don't succeed, which when you think about it is kinda admitting we're going to give up soon. Other people will mostly go out of their way to be supportive, sometimes they might get it wrong and the ones that aren't supportive can just move along.
Good luck, let us know how you get on
