hi deborah

i live in ontario too and also i am trying to start again
although i retry at least every few weeks then get sidetracked
mostly by lowfat/accept yourself mantras--i know in my heart that the sugar starch thing is my problem -- i find it hard but i keep being pulled back--its more than weight loss for me it is also about mental clearness and fog/depression lifting
i have about 50 pounds i want to lose--i just cant accept the weight or tiredness or depression -- i have tried--what i mean is that i keep being torn back and forth between knowing carbs is really the big problem in my life but then reading the sort of
accept your fat/eat anything you want philosophies
(such as geneen roth's books)

this is the first time i have ever talked to people online about this
so i hope my thoughts come through clearly

where in ontario do you live
and have you had success before with this kind of dieting?
