Great start Mel!  I admire you for writing it all down this way, with your strengths and weaknesses. May I make a suggestion?  While the milk in your coffee has some, try adding some additional protein in the AM.  It will give you a better start for the day and make your lunch more satisfying.

Mel, you are on your way..the first day or two will be the most challenging, remember as you ditch those carbs and sweets you'll find more control and less desire to have them. I like he strengths, weaknesses, feelings you listed, kuddos to you. I must say I can so relate to "after I start eating for the day, I find it difficult to start"....I find this true for me too......but I also realize the importance of starting the day with a good nutritious meal.

Michele and cajun girl thanks for taking the time to read this and comments are alwas welcome!
