, thanks for sharing all of this. It is amazing.

I am really enjoying the upbeat, happy, energetic days that I am having as a

south-beacher. Makes me wonder, like you, why I ever ate those carbie demons in

the first place. Funny thing is I am a teensy bit sluggish today and I wonder if

it is related to the fact that I had one of those Atkins Endulge " ice creams "

things last night. Very low carbs but it seems to almost create a mock sugar

response in me. Weird.

Another interesting thread. I hadn't put carbs and depressing moods

together. What are you guys considering carbs in this sense?

I get confused over starchy carbs, sugary carbs, veggie

carbs...what's good, what's not good, how much of what to have.

Someone needs to create a little credit-card sized " nutrition for WLS

patients " thing that I can keep with me at all times to help keep me

on track.

How do other people stay on track?

It's the white stuff that gets me: white flour, sugar, milk. Can't do any of

them, really. Rice either. I love cornbread, popcorn, etc., but have to really

limit them. It's basically the high glycemic foods that set me off. Since I

have been doing this South Beach thing I have felt soooooooo much better -

energetic, happy, upbeat - that I can't believe it. It's wonderful!

I definitely understand the fear, but is that really the best way to

live your life? Isn't peace and love a better place to be? How do

we get away from the fear, find that peace and love, and get to a

point of balance in our interactions with food?

Put it into perspective. I'm not quivering in my boots 24/7. I just know who

my enemies are.

I also do not go outside barefoot on summer evenings. But I do during the

day. The slugs are waiting for me out there. Fear? Wisdom?

: I just know whomy enemies are.

////////

Very well said. I'm struggling so darn hard to kick the choco habit. It is

MY enemy and it has a strangling hold. When (not " if " because I'm over 48

hrs sober) I kick this it's fear that will keep me in place.

p.s. thanks to those who referred to carbs/sugar as " drugs " because to me

it's like that and it's helped me to keep away from them several times.

Hugs,

Lori
