First things first. The shoofly pie was very good but I think I would have been just as satisfied with half a slice. I probably won't make that again for a long time.
Something has really been bothering me. A good friend gave me the advice that I would probably have to give up all the foods I love if I expect to lose weight: pasta, guacamole, ham, desserts, sugar, potatoes, you get my drift.
I've always had the point of view that if you give up everything you love and just eat twigs and berries eventually you will become frustrated and give up. Now, so far I have good healthy food and some of what I want. I save up my calories and portion control everything. I eat. I even have room for dessert.
So far this has worked for me and I have lost 14 lbs. My friend has been on Great Watcher's and has lost a nice amount of weight too. So really I have no idea who is right.
I'm happy with my blood sugars and weight loss so I will probably keep doing what I'm doing for now. My worst fear is that eventually I will have to give up those things and that's what will cause me to fail. I guess the best thing I can do for now is to keep doing what's working and make small changes as they are needed.
The only way I can really tell you who is right is to maybe weigh in on this topic six months from now.
