Wow, I went completely off-topic. Anyway, my girlfriend is now making a lot of sacrifices to help me stay on this diet. I know that anything I put in my mouth is MY responsibility, but it helps having someone around who supports you.



You are so right about the support - my father-in-law and my job-share partner are both on low carb diets and provide great support. My husband is not dieting, but definitely supporting my efforts and encouraging me. It helps keep you accountable in some way ...

I'm a little nervous about a gathering this Saturday - I'm hoping I can relax and have a good time without stressing over the food.
