I think the point Patty was trying to make is that she CAN'T just eat a small slice of the cake...she's going to eat the whole damn thing! (and so would I Patty...)

I'm just like you Patty. I'll be eating this way for the rest of my life because I can't just eat some of the brownies and throw the rest away. There is no off switch...once that sweet sugary goodness hits my mouth I will eat and eat and eat until there is nothing left...and hate myself for it.

I WILL NOT condemn myself for the fact that I cannot just take it or leave it. That's just part of who I am, just like having brown hair. I know how to control it though, and that's to just not eat any at all. It was VERY hard to accept this...I've been on this journey for over two years, and I would say only in the last month has the message really taken hold, and I'm OK with it.

Patty, you've got my sympathy and my support! You have to do what you have to do though...the carbs just aren't worth it (even if they taste good).
