I was looking at Hunt's no-salt tomato sauce (no added sugar) which lists 8 carbs(2g. fiber) per 1/2 cup. I have actually been pretty far below 20 carbs each day, and I'm trying to balance my fear of carbs with getting the right amount. I wasn't sure if the tomato sauce was okay. I think I'm not gonna eat it!
Maybe some chicken and a small handful of broccoli sauteed with some olive oil and a little garlic? Does that sound ok? I can't remember if green beans are ok or not, I'd prefer to have them today instead of broccoli (even though I love broccoli too!).

I'd like a regular bath towel to fit all the way around me.
I'd like to be able to fit into clothes bought at a regular store, not a store for "large women".
I'd like to go on the annual rafting trip with my kids, confident that if I get tossed out of the raft into the river, I'll be able to hoist my backside back in with a minimum of embarasment!
