Well it sounds like we are just alike. I wish that I had some words of wisdom for you, but I don't. The best advice I heard was to start making changes slowly and then add on to them. I have about 6cc in a 10cc band- I do have some restriction- mainly bread- which I have cut down on. I HATE to exercise- so you have one up on me, but that will be changing in the next 2 weeks. I am afraid of going back to the doc, because I am afraid of what he will say. Another tip that I heard was- make a pot of chili, put it into one cup versions- freeze it, and when it is time to eat- heat it up with non fat sour cream and cheese- and if you want have 4 tortilla chips with it for lunch- lunch is done for the whole week PLUS it has good protein. If you need someone to vent to- I am here- I am in the same boat, just fed up and ready for a change!!! I'll let you know how it goes.
