Hey, Girlfriend, hold on. Why do you have to have "plain spaghetti"? Ew. "Bread and water for the rest of [your] life"? Who gave you that sentence?! Have you been trying any of the recipes in here? There's quite a variety, and all of them I tried (except for one) are really good.
Are you getting your exercise? Drinking all your water? Taking your fiber? Doing everything right?
I have my setbacks too. You know I'm just getting over a 3-day attack, which discouraged me at first as well. But the good days that we have really DO make the bad days not quite so bad because the good ones are SOOOO good.
Am I making any sense?
Have you given any thought to the hypnosis? I know I keep recommending it, probably boring everyone to tears, but it worked so well for me that I just assume it will for others as well -- and I can see in your post just how disheartened I was -- like you -- before I started the program.
You can't get discouraged; we won't let you. There are too many of us here that you have to answer to.
