what stage did you start eating these power bars? I read your profile and you seem so happy.(and loook great) If you read my post on the recipe board you will see i am not in a good place. anyways one week out and curious when you started to feel you could eat somewhat normally with out worrying or does it just come natural?

honestly...i'm just now allowing myself to eat normally. i've said no to any kind of carbs this whole time (except what's in fruit and veggies) now i'm getting into the whole grain type stuff a little more.
