Sorry I can't write more but we have guests coming and they are staying in our bedroom which is where I hide all the stuff when guests come over and hang out in the living room so I have some serious clutter to pick up...Anyway...

Candes - I was in your same place just a few weeks ago and I got the Maker's Diet & started reading it and following some of the plan - not all of it quite yet because we had so many celebrations that it was unrealistic. I knew I had to do something about my carb & sugar addiction. I was actually getting uneasy about it and my clothes had stopped fitting. I had to go cold turkey for a week with no sweets or carbs and it wasn't easy but I got through it with prayer. My stomach got a little flatter, I swear! All I ate was lean protein and fruits and veggies.
gotta go - good luck - you can do it.
