I am rooting for you Carrie, your fabric is fantastic, so nice of them to sell it to you at such a great price :) re: diet... Have you ever followed a died of no more than 45 carbs per meal? three snacks not over 20 carbs.. morning noon and after dinner? When my son in law bacame a diabetic we at home followed this diet. tried to stay with healty carbs... I lost 25 lbs in 2 months and need I say my Dr. was shocked, she actually bowed to me hahaha.... any way give it a try. I hear oatmeal is what they call a free carb, hmmm no not all day long :) good luck to you on your diet... (((hugs)))
