Hi Judith, I read your post today about the carbs..what evil little demons they are. Stop being so hard on yourself honey and just step away from the carbs and up your protein. You can do it, you were strong enough to have this surgery and lose such a wonderful amount of weight. You can beat the carbs too. It's a terrible fight, I know, always in my life I would have rather had a big baked potato and bread than a steak. I know it is going to be a fight for me for the rest of my life, and I get so disgusted when I give into them, and when I do give into them all I want is more. I know you can get back on track. Just remember there are alot of people behind you 100%, who know just how you feel. Take care!
