Angela, I think you've hit something there. Some people DO expect to go back to their old way of life, and low carb as a temporary sacrifice not as a WOL and a WOE. There is no reform in their thinking.

From day one I told myself "it's my choice, I'm here because I want to be, so I better educate myself, understand, decide for myself".
It's about responsibility and acceptance of responsibility for the consequences of our actions.
I used to binge out on 1 or 2 large bitter chocolate slab, I am responsible for putting that stuff into my mouth. Nobody forced me.

Sorry, I'm a bit incoherent, I got up early and not my best early in the mornings!
