Hi Fluffy,

My deepest sympathy for the loss of your little ones.

I think you'd do well low-carbing - it's pretty much the least stressful way to try to lose weight. I think your biggest problem would be that tendancy to 'self-medicate' through carby foods. That's what I used to do. It's a big hurdle to overcome, probably analogous to quitting smoking, but it's worth it. You'd be amazed how much extra time and extra energy you have when you're not drugged up on carbs.

Whatever you decide, good luck and good health to you and your son.
