Thank you very much for the advixe and nice words.

I have decided to keep tracking my carbs. I prefer the old fashioned pen and paper way. There are so many different carb counts for the same food. I do better if I just read my labels, watch my portion size and write it down. I have also decided to kick the scale to the curb until I get done with the patch at least. I have not been gaining and that is good. I feel like a failure when I get on the scale every week though and it has not moved.

I will low carb because of how good it makes me feel and maybe this will be a very good lesson for me. I am afraid if I go back to the sugar and junk it will make me want a cigarette. I have had a very easy time of quitting without the sugar. Sugar and flour has a very addictive way for me. I tend to also feel more easily defeated when I am full of sugar. (flour etc.) I have a very severe wheat allergy and probobaly should have put the 2 togethor along time ago... Just didn't want to give up the spelt and rice bread. I guess better late than never.

Have a good week
Amy
