Used2B140...sorry dinner was a little tough...it's funny how 1/2 cup of rice and 1/2 cup of beans used to be fine for me (I was mostly vegan at that time). Now, I'm afraid to try the rice...in fact, I haven't tried beans either...that would be really difficult for me too. But, like you said tomorrow is a new day and it will get better. I had a "less than perfect" time on Monday...but, I'm over the shock of it now...LOL. So, hang in there...we will do this and we'll be so excited by the time Christmas is here. Think of all the new outfits we'll be able to wear

Question regarding rice and beans...you mentioned it being a prerequisite...which low-carb program are you following? I'm following the Atkins plan.
