THank you both for your help. I just got book 1. I'm going to put photocopies of those back pages on my cabinets - that's a great idea. It's still hard to believe I can actually eat all that stuff -- its been years. I feel such a sense of delight, and already can tell that I won't need to eat as much because of not feeling deprived. I don' t mind going on the lower carbs, as long as I don' t have to be HUNGRY all the time!!
