You have described very well how I have felt myself. I too was obsessed with sweets as a child. I used to take the "Quik" brand chocolate powder and a spoon, go behind the dryer and eat it right out of the can. Not a happy memory at all.

And I can also agree with the miraculously free feeling that comes with finding LC and finally turning off that inner voice that drove us to eat carbs all day long. I love it too

Thanks for the great post.
