hey -
thanks for the advice. I know that i'm supposed to throw those worries out the window, but it's just so hard to convince myself that high fat is ok. After years and years of watching fat content, i feel as though i'll be struck with lightning if i guiltlessly indulge in a fatty meat, or cream instead of skim milk in my coffee. It's silly, I know, but I suppose we're socialized in different ways, and my family has always stuck with low-cal, low fat AND i'm usually so hungry on those types of diets.

I suppose I've just gotta take the plunge sometime~!
