As far as discussing it here on The Ledge ad nauseum, I figure if you want support, post away - but as usual be prepared for some people to disagree with you or make comments that you may not like. On the other hand, if you're sick of hearing about people struggling to lose weight, just don't read the 500 threads about it.

Your comment on carrot sticks reminds me of something Rosie O'Donnel said once. She asked her doctor about her weight problem and for suggestions. Her doctor said, "Well, when you're hungry for a snack have some carrot sticks." Rosie was like, "Oh great, she totally solved America's problem with obesity right there. Why didn't I think of that?"

Personally I think this thread is for support and if you can't be supportive then use the golden rule.
