Hi Lexi,

I was a "carb junkie" I guess too - although fruits and veggies are carbs too, just of a different kind! I still eat breads and cereals, just try to make them the healthiest ones I can. I did decide I was eating too much bread, so I eat less than I did. I missed it initially, but now that I am used to eating more fruits and veggies, I'm enjoying it and feel better.

Another thing I can say is that when I lost weight, a number of health problems went away. I think you wrote on an earlier post that you'd been having trouble with your ankles swelling? I used to have a lot of trouble with that, too. When I lost weight, it stopped for me. I never have trouble with it any longer, even in the hot weather, when it tended to be the worst for me. Somehow that fixed the problem in my case.

Anyway, still rooting for you, and wishing you all the best!

Take care,
