Thank you all for your replies. I know I want this to work. I went out and bought the grocieries and everything. I know I have trigger foods that if I eat one bite..it almost surefire starts a binge. Ice cream is that food. I would personnally keep it out of the house, but I can't tell my husband to give it up. Thank you for your words of encouragement. I am starting once again today. I want this to work. I think I have gained the 2 pounds back from eating badly the last 2 days. I am going to try this again and it starts today. My plan is to hopefully lose the weight by August, then I will have to see what my carb intake should be on a regular basis. But your support is very helpful. I just hope I can do this.
