Lucille, if this is your only OCD behavior. Keep it. If you try to break

it, you might switch to something worse. Ritual can be good.

Fats satisfy, carbs make you crave.

There never WERE calorie is a calorie is a calorie, IMHO. It's the TYPE of

calorie, whether it works FOR you or AGAINST you.

And post-op, it really makes a difference. A protein calorie is in no way

related to a sugar calorie. One goes into your muscle & organs, one goes

directly to your ____________ (hips, belly, bottom).
