One of my problems is remembering to read lables. I got good at avoiding fat for the last decade. But, avoiding carbs is a different thing altogether. I didn't know how many carbs were in grapefruit for example, I would have never even looked it up if it wasn't for this forum. I found out there is potato starch in shredded mozzerella cheese, it isn't a problem for me, but when I saw it I was like uh oh that might trigger really sensitive people. I had no idea that spaghetti sauce had so much sugar in it. I am not freaking out over having used it on my low carb pizzas, but it was something I became aware of and I switched to sugar free tomato sauce, I like it just as much and I still feel like I am eating pizza. I know someday, I will look back my early new WOE days and think, how did I eat so much junk?

Sometimes I read about a newbie mistake and I think dude/dudette, you are being wayyyyyyyyyy too hard on yourself. Ha, maybe that is a newbie mistake, being to hard on yourself.
