Linda, I can't help but wonder if part of you is afraid to succeed at LCing?

It may sound strange, but others have discussed this issue--we want to lose weight, but something inside us is afraid of success so we continue to throw obsticles in our way. Just like when you rationalized that you needed to go back and revisit (and load up on) foods that you know for sure are not good for you.

Again, not being judgmental in any way. But maybe it's worth considering if there are aspects of being smaller (and perhaps more attractive to others) that scares you.

And see how bad those carbs have left you feeling both physically and emotionally? Just not worth it...

Hope you're feeling better soon!
