The only thing is, I'm also a mom and want to prepare meals for my children that are healthful and I want them to see me making good choices because as anyone with an ED knows, lots of habits are learned. While my mom didn't have an ED her dieting obsession didn't help me. So, I've been doing Atkins for a few weeks and have had a loss of about 9 pounds. I'm fluctuating between 162 and 161 for a week. I want to find out more about SB. I'm afraid of SB though because I'm wondering how it might change the newly found control I've had over binging. Any advice?
Thanks again. I deleted my message because after 4o people read it and nobody responded, I felt sort of embarrassed.

Hi. I read your post, but I have no experience with SB, so I don't want to give bad advice. I am doing Atkins, and I am happy with that. I eat a lot of vegetables as well as meats, fish and eggs. I think your children could do well with that. As I understand it, SB is lower in fats, so if you do well on low fat....then try it. As Judy said, each person is different, so you must decide which is best for you. I would suggest you give which ever plan you choose a good chance though. You will have stalls on either.
Lots of luck, Ruth.
