Now that I'm better, here are some new rules. I will NOT give up!!

no sugar free candy unless it is made with splenda
no diet soda unless it is made with splenda
1 cup of coffee a day, decaf tea after, only with steviaclear added for sweetener
2 salads a day
no more Atkins Advantage bars. Shakes can be used very occasionally (like when at boyfriend's)
no more 'cheesecake pudding'
count every carb.
