I HAVE had those revelations -- especially since starting the LC thing. But what I find strange is -- why am I harder on myself NOW than I was when I was 10 pounds heavier (before I started Atkins?). It's almost like I didn't REALLY look at myself back then. I mean, this morning I was hating the rolls of fat on my back and then I thought, "how come I never noticed them before? They've been there for years."

Don't get me wrong -- I'm HAPPY that I'm looking at myself more realistically now that I've decided to do something about it. But why was I so "blind" before??
