Thanks so much for your reply, Kent. I'm going to follow your advice. I think the most frustrating thing has been the "not knowing". I love this WOE and I feel very confident (for the first time) that I can stay with it for the rest of my life.

Do you do any exercising? I know I "should" (hate that word), but....? I have been doing quite a bit of walking lately (at least its a start) because my car is on the fritz. A case of "be careful what you wish for" -- I've been wishing for the incentive to at least go for a walk for several weeks.
