Wow! Thank you for posting that. I wish I'd read that when I started! Her plan to ease into low carb would have been much easier than what I tried to do!!!! I just happened to hit a couple of journals of people who took to the WOE like the proverbial duck to duck sauce and I kept beating myself up not only for being fat, but cowardly and weak-willed.

I hope every Newbie whose native diet is composed primarily of sugar -- whether you think you're an addict or not -- will read this one! (And yes, I admit it. If you were to give me a pop quiz and ask me to write down what was the first point I took away from reading that it's "I can have Coke! I can have Coke! I can have Coke!" )
