I am starting CALP tomorrow. I have about 70 pounds to lose. I have literally tried every single diet known to mankind! I have known about CALP since the *oprah show*. I don't know why I never stuck with it. I have been looking for the quick fix for 15 years now. This plan makes sense. Unlike Atkins, you don't have to eat high fat. It is a sensible plan as far as I can tell.
I need it not only to lose weight, but for depression, anxiety and mood swings. I know I have needed to change my diet for years and cut out the sugar and processed foods. I turned 46 this year and just *released* some very toxic family members who have been holding me back for my entire life.
It has been a very emotional experience. For 46 years I have lived to *please* my parents, especially my mom. I let that go yesterday. So much more I cannot express right now, but alot of it, has led to eating issues with me. I feel like I can finally be myself and be who I WANT to be!

Anyway, sorry to ramble I am just SO glad I found this place!
