As the concept relates to smoking, I've been there and done that.

This time around I believe it worked because I have completely sworn off smoking, (been over 6 weeks now).
Carbs are a little different than smoking. I am not convinced that carbs are poison for everyone, (maybe for some people they are). I have a lot of fruit trees I have nurtured and cared for over the years and I'm not going to give up my idea of getting "well" until I know for sure. Hopefully, when it comes to carbs, I can one day be a moderator.

I strongly believe that carbs are as addictive to me as all my other addictions (congrats on quitting the smokes!!! You are taking on a lot at once)
I have lost weight and regained, for me I know that I need to stay away, for ever, one cigarette would lead me right back to smoking 2packs a day...
This is a hard reality for me...
I do believe in everything in moderation, but I don't do moderation, everything in life for me is all or nothing, I know this now...will I eat an occasional peach or pear or apple, hell ya! If it's natural yes, chocolate cake, probably a lot less often...
