Thanks for the welcome, Razzle. What do you teach? I teach in a small rural school and I take country roads to and from school so, luckily, I don't have to deal with the temptation of drive-throughs. I do, however, have a husband who doesn't understand when I say that I don't want to eat everything that's included in a restaurant meal. That's got to be my worse thing to overcome with this new way of eating.

Thanks for the welcome, too, Debbie (and the bit of concern). I will probably add back some carbs (maybe a salad or piece of fruit) once I've lost all the weight that I'd like to lose. But right now, I'm taking a whole slew of vitamins and I think I'll stick with what's working. I figure I'm eating better (more healthy) now than when I was binging on chips, cookies, candy, etc.

But thanks to both of you for replying to my intro message. I'm still hangin' in there.
