Janette, thanks for the reply. "Phase Three of South Beach" sounds like a new Fox series, on after the "O.C."!

It's just my own homemade diet where I'm trying to reduce the crap I know I don't need (like Coke and beer and chips). But at the same time there are foods I love (PBJ and milk). I actually use strawberry jam, so there's got to be SOME nutrition in those chunks of fruit, but also a whole lot of sugar, too.

Don't tell anyone, but sometimes I also add Nestle's Quick to my milk. Not good, but better for me than candy bars.

The water is probably the best thing I have going for me. I used to drink Coke out of addiction as well as taste. And beer, of course. But instead, I now have a large water bottle with me at work all day (with my own tap water from home).

And that white bread, I love it, but I'm pretty sure it gives me a rush and makes me even more hungry. Just like what beer does to me. The wheat bread doesn't seem to do that.

Ok, now I'm off to read about the South Beach diet!
