Forget about the USDA Food Pyramid… I just found something better – the healthy eating pyramid, and it looks like I am following it pretty closely these days! (Click to see the full size).
Healthy Eating Pyramid
It comes from Harvard, so it must be right, right? 
Anyway, I am happy to report that I have not experienced any (known) blood sugar problems or crashes in the past 3 days. Which is a miracle.
My new favorite food is shelled pumpkin seeds. They are SO good for you and SO delicious. (But SO calorie laden, I know).
Well, change of plans: It looks like I will be heading to NH near the end of next week at some point. I finally gave my NH landlord notice that I’m moving. So I’ll likely be heading back there next Friday, get there Sunday night or Monday afternoon, then stay until the 5th of September. I have a lot of preparation to do before then, like renew my AAA membership, get my car looked over thoroughly, see about a moving company that will move my books, etc. Fun fun fun!
I’m still going to shoot for the 7 pound weight loss… to expedite weight loss (or rather, inches loss), I’m going to take a 45-60 minute very brisk walk every single morning so long as it’s not raining. The weather has cooled a bit here so it won’t be too bad. I will also do 20 minutes on the elliptical every other day, plus the yoga stretches and some resistance arm weights every couple days or so.

Rian,
I am about 10 years ahead of you in this ‘insane’ battle you are going through-including alcohol. I am turning 40 on the 28th of this month and am just as obsessed with weight and being thin as you are but I couldn’t imagine putting it out there for everyone to see-the pressure would kill me.
I really know what you are going through.
I wish you only the best and not to let your site(s)get the best of you.
