Is anyone else finding the second month more difficult?

It started out OK, with a really good weigh-in on Saturday, but this past weekend was tough. I'm getting back on the horse, though.
As my Weight Watchers teacher is fond of reminding us, it's actually better to have it be a struggle at times, to have ups and downs. You learn more that way. Essentially you're learning habits that you'll need to follow for the rest of your life. And the failures are part of the process.

Uh, yeah!

But I'm determined to keep to this.

Worth a try? Hmm ... well, it's not too difficult, anyway. I've got some nice fig-flavored balsamic ...
--- Quote ---The latest research out of Japan suggests that a daily intake of vinegar will boost your body’s ability to burn fat. Nice! The researchers fed two groups of mice a high-fat diet, supplementing one group with a daily dose of the main chemical in vinegar. The group that consumed the acetic acid developed less body fat than the ones that didn’t have any. In a follow-up study with human subjects, three teaspoons of vinegar diluted in two cups of water daily experienced similar results after 12 weeks. Go ahead, toss your salad with vinegar instead of those creamy dressings and sprinkle a healthy dose of it onto your steamed veggies. Then burn baby burn!

There are entire books out there on the virtues of vinegar. My father drinks a shot of apple cider vinegar--cut with an equal amount of water--a day. He swears it's helping lower his "bad" cholesterol.
Correction:
Since I wrote the above, I've talked to my dad. He takes one tablespoon of apple cider vinegar in one shot of water twice a day, before lunch and before dinner.
