Funny as that might sound to an outsider, I think I know exactly what you mean. It's good to remember where we came from, because it helps us see how far we've come AND appreciate that the effort involved is well worth the results. It's encouragement to keep on doing the things that make a difference.
[QUOTE=AnniMin]I'm not losing very fast, but I am in much better control of my eating now and I know for sure that I can do this, and its worth it. I'm worth it. What a huge difference good healthy low carb food makes in how you feel physically and mentally.

Yes! I'm now convinced that it's much more than just the mechanical lightening of the load that makes our lives better; it's the greater ease with which our organs can function when they're not impeded by the fat, and when they are given nutritious, healthful foods that allow them to start cleaning out the years of sludge and abuse. Add on the improved mental health that comes from knowing that we're doing something for ourselves that is right and good--it's just a win-win-win. It's worth what it takes.

Thank *you*. One never knows when one's own journey might help another person, and I consider it a privilege to have been able to be of help. Thank you for the bhug, too!
