Hi Kat!

I just had to answer you- my name is Kat also, and I am a nurse too- worked in home care many years (now teaching CNA's) I also had a real scare with diabetes. I felt sleepy after a Coke and Twinkie-type lunch, checked my BS at work, and it was over 300! No way! Not goin' there!

Raw cookie dough? You mean there is ANOTHER way to eat cookies?

Hang in there gal, you can do it! I am also a carb addict, and a yo-yo dieter,even on Atkins. This time is different, 'cause I've worked on the "head thing" and I have made low carb eating and exercise a new way of life. To date, I've lost 84 pounds rather quickly, with not much suffering. I've stayed at induction levels since May, feel and look good, and really enjoy what I am eating. It is simple, if you make it simple.

I hang out in the Triple Digit Club of this forum, where SherryB and I have started a thread to work on the Dr. Phil questions and dig out some of our cranial fat! I have a journal, Utah Kat's Litter Box- please come visit me there- I'd love to hear more of your story, fellow kat.
