Welcome to LDL, Scotsgal,
I have only been on site since November but have been doing alot of reading. I was already convinced the whole foods way of eating was best when I started this. But for some people it is such a drastic change, they have to ease themselves into it. I had been gradually changing our eating habits over the past 2 years on our own and at least we stopped gaining and had some weight losses. Like Sandra, (Sicilian Mama) says, it is all about choices. If you can't do without certain things, make the healthiest choices. Eat as many of the LDL allowable food as you can and you will certainly feel better and I am sure you will notice pounds and inches being discarded. Once you get used to cooking and eating this way, and you are not satisfied with the rate of weight loss, you are probably ready to go PURE LDL at that point.
Do the best you can, come back to the boards, report your successes and roadblocks and let the others encourage, help and cheer you on. Most of us are here because we have tried everything else but still willing to do it God's way this time; because we just are not willing to stay this way any longer. We still believe there is an answer and if this WayOfEating is it for more people, then think of the millions of unhealthy people we can help just by doing it ourself first. Your success is our success also.

Maybe I could put some of those garlic roasted onions on top?? This will be my second holiday season on LDL but it will be the first time I don't have to work thru the holidays. It will be so much easier when I am not sleep deprived while I am cooking and celebrating. Life is good.
