Your post is some great motivation and a load of truth too. I am an amateur chef who also spent a great deal of time developing low-fat recipes to fit into my WW points. Now that I am LCing, I've had to relearn how to cook. At first I thought this would be heartbreaking... but no! If anything, I have found my love for cooking and creating new meals intensified and reinvigorated.

Plus, with low carb cooking I get to use real ingredients - no more ICBINB spray of fat-free half and half for this girl!
