I've cut potatoes and cookies pretty much entirely. I eat whole wheat bread and pasta in moderation. I am not much for cereal anyway - I eat oatmeal, whole wheat English muffin with almond butter or a boiled egg for breakfast. I rarely have a two slices of bread sandwich - either open faced or a whole grain wrap. If I am eating out I just take off the top slice or bun.

I found it surprisingly easy to cut way back on processed carbs, although maybe that's because I do still eat whole grain stuff. The difference is that whole grains take longer to digest, so you feel full longer.

You don't need to completely overhaul your diet all at once. Start by cutting out potatoes, anything made with white flour, and junk food and I bet you will feel better and start to lose weight. Plus it sounds like your DH is already on a healthy kick so hopefully he will join you in a healthier diet. In our house we all eat fairly healthy - kids are even more focused on it than I am. So no excuses![/quote]
