This may sound crazy, but I think LC has given me the power to follow many of these guidelines without ever having read the book (which BTW I now have every intention of doing).

I'm still a comparative newbie, but for the first time in my life, I'm following a WOE that feels right. No feelings of "poor me, why can't I eat what I like"--because I am doing just that. No pressure to speed up the process....I just know I'll get to my goal eventually and the time frame doesn't matter any more.

Thanks for starting this post, Karen.
