And you make a lot of valid points. We all have to find the system that works for us. If we don’t have food in the house that we shouldn’t eat-we won’t eat it. I stopped buying rice cakes and low carb fudge bars-not because they didn’t fit into my food plan-they did-but because I couldn’t control how many I ate or needed the processed carbs. If they aren’t in the house-I can’t eat them. I also quit buying saltine crackers for the same reason. I used to buy them so Ken would have them when I made chili. But I ate more of those crackers than he ever did and I would top them with butter before I ate them. So out of the house they went.

I have to say that getting the processed carbs out of my system helps me not think about food as much which I am grateful for.

Having a system is a good idea.

The best defense is a good offense.
