The thread I referred to is probably Johnasafta's thread about "best reaction to weight loss."

That's where I listed some of my personal "danger signals"--and promptly decided to listen to myself!

I practice another religion in my life, but the parallels between that one and the "low-carb religion" are endless--"Repent" being one of the biggies.

A very important decision. Likewise, not having the big plastic tub of almonds from Costco in the cupboard is a big step towards not reaching into it several times a day. Even though nuts and even chocolate are "good for you" there has to be a limit--a limit hard to establish and hard to maintain without decisive action.

Best wishes.
