Awe, thank you so much Elsie, Coribazz, Elizellen, Joee5 and Erika!!!
I appreciate your support so much (almost in tears).
I weighed in today and so far have lost 10.4 pounds and 6.5".
Can I just say, I really thought I was one of those people who couldn't lose weight. Even going into this, I thought I was going to be high resistance. After reading the book and doing research and coming here and just doing things the right way, I now realize that my problem was in my terrible habitual ways. I was in denial but I can completely admit:
I am a recovering carb addict. (ahhhh off my chest like inches
)
The thing I appreciate the most so far is kicking that bad habit to the curb. I am enjoying my meals, the way I should be and more than anything that's my biggest success so far.
