Congratulations on your phenomenal success! I'm almost two years out too and all of my struggles have been because of those 3 things you gave up: bread, sugar and white carbs. The unholy trinity!!

You are STUNNING and should be extremely proud of how far you've come. Once again, congrats!

Tracy - I joke that carbs are the devil's food...only half a joke really. I have to say giving them up has been super helpful. It took about a month for me to get them out of my system and stop craving them. I've read a lot about how sugar alters your brain chemistry...felt so true! Haven't craved them since I got past that month. I've figured out alternatives...like making spaghetti squash pizza crust which I love, and eating a lot of things in lettuce wraps. I'm happy I did it...I just feel better not eating them :) Good luck on your journey!! Thank you for your kind words!
