thanks skyspinner ! its lovely to get a bit of praise... I feel good as if I got an A+ in school.
I was trying to listen on Atkins but just ended up taking no notice of myself Ive known for a long, long time, that broccoli makes me hungry... and a mock danish sends me nearly wild with hunger ! Ive been aware of that for 15 months LOL But although I was listening..... how can broccoli make you hungry ? Of all things, I was desperate to eat more broccoli . I thought it must just mean I was greedy and tried to ignore/fight it. Hard work.

Thats why I am so impossibly happy about CAD. All those things I knew at last having a reason that I could understand Im not greedy at all !! Im just reacting to broccoli ! hooray !

its been like a revelation and suddenly things are making sense. I cant tell you what a relief that is. I just could not understand why my Atkins didnt work. Last three weeks Ive felt wonderful.

PS. porridge - pogs sounds great. I can just see them.
