Thanks everyone! And Genie....you made me laugh, thanks for that. I am a professional dieter. I've been on a diet for over half my life. I've been considered "skinny" for a few months before I got married 6 years ago. The rest of the time I've been either average, about 5-10 pounds over my ideal weight, or pregnant and huge! I know exactly what I should be eating. I know I should be measuring portions and I KNOW that grazing like a cow all day is a recipe for disaster. I know to focus on sobriety, but I tend to make excuses for myself with food the same way I do with alcohol. Both my pregnancies I gained 60-70 pounds and had to really diet to get it off. Still working on losing from baby #2. I've done medifast and it works, but I'm not going to do that again until I'm about 3 months sober. It's just too strict (although I did manage to continue drinking while on it and STILL lose 20 pounds in 2 months).

Anyway, this is turning into a thesis. Thanks for all your help!
