Hi Kaitlin,

I am also a terrible carb/chocolate addict. My idea of a modest dessert was to get a large serving bowl, and line the bottom with warm brownies/walnuts, add in a thick layer of chocolate chip ice cream, top that with cashews/M&M's, pour hot fudge over the entire mountain, squirt on the whipped cream, and throw on a half dozen cherries for good measure!

I have been lc'ing for 5 weeks now, and have lost nearly 40 pounds. It was rough the first 2 weeks, with headaches, weakness, etc....From what I've been reading here, that was withdrawls from the toxins.

I feel better now than I have felt in years, and I'm just getting started.

I had several falst starts, but kept trying and didn't give up. Just keep getting up, and make this minute the first minute of the rest of your life.

Just because you slid a little, does not mean you have "blown" it. There really is no black and white, just a million shades of gray.

So hang in there, and know there is light at the end of the tunnel. Some of us have longer tunnels than others, but the light is there nonetheless.
