wow thanks for all those responses! I tried the no trans fat foods...didn't work. did the no carb thing and it worked but I was driving the truck and not able to really eat that way then found out the low carb thing causes major kidney problems and I had to have kidney surgery. I feel damned if I do and damned if I don't. can't exercise either errrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr so today I really didn't eat during the day and for dinner I had some chinese..almond fried chicken...a little bit and some rice. so that is an improvement for me! woo hoo lol
