Welcome! Great story!! It is funny when you look into a shopping cart expecting 1 thing and realizing something else Even looking in my fridge on most days surprises me still. I don't think anything more about grabbing a huge handful of salad and throwing it on my plate - just seems automatic at this point.

Hey Todd. Thanks for the welcome!! Us guys gotta stick together huh?? It's kinda nice surrounded by all these pretty women though!!

And to Chica... I know what you mean about looking in the fridge. I'm shocked how different it looks too. And the "handful of salad" thing made me laugh because thats exactly what I do!! I swear I can "feel" a perfect 2 cups of salad veggies by now.

Gotta love it!!

Hi and welcome back. I totally agree with you that its better to have no sweetner (splenda et) and go through induction cold turkey. It certainly worked for me. Daft as it sounds ive had to swop my toothpast from a minty one to a herbal one, because the sweetness was disgusting! Thats a sign of being totally obsessed im sure.

Im on my second time around to and definitely think its easier and more effective, as you know what you are doing and you also know how successful it can be.
