Hello Lori and Susan,
I too am a carbaholic. Like they say, recognition is the first step. I am trying not to "reward" my successes with food. I do it, and find myself doing it to my kids as my mom did with me and it is not healthy. My new approach, not sure if it will work is to have carbs at work, so I bring in my crackers/pretzels/sandwich/ in a reasonable portion. I am trying not to eat many carbs at night, but I do grant myself popcorn it is lower cal and good fiber.
Remember, changing habits take a lot time, this is not an overnight solution for us it will take us time.
