RE: "now I can eat the right things again....and can't seem to get back on track!!!"

I guess what I mean is....with the 1/2 cc more, I could not eat veggies, fruit, meat, anything but carbs, liquids, crackers, etc....things that were giving me calories, but no substance....!!! Everything would get stuck.... Maybe it was a bit of both me eating all the wrong things and me not being able to.

Now I am having a problem getting off the carbss....portion control....etc.....

Well, you really are just going to have to buckle down and do it. Once you get back in gear, it'll be easy to stay there, but you gotta just do it!

Start with one meal. One meal, good bandster style meal. Once that meal is over, congratulate yourself for following the rules and make a pact with yourself for the next one.

You can do it!

Hard protiens first...they fill you up and keep you satisfied. I know it's hard to not do the carbs at all. Give yourself a lowfat ice cream bar after a meal for a sweet treat...let that take the place of your crackers. OR portion out 6-8 crackers and eat them with a hard cheese (cheddar) for an afternoon snack. I find that concentrating on the protiens first but not totally leaving out anything else is helpful with both my food choices and Portion Control. You'll get there! You are doing so well already! Keep at it, it will come off.
