Oh A-M J, I just was just reading your comments on losing weight. Don't we all struggle in some degree? I want you to think about one thing, get good veggie carbs. They burn slower and are more fiberous, etc. Brocs and cauliflour can be your friend.
As a suggestion, I have had experience and success with trying the South Beach diet. It is a bit trendy, but it does work. And it can work fast. That said, like a lot of diets it can be a bit to follow, so I only suggest following it for a week or two, then slowly adding wheat based carbs again, but at a slow pace. From my research on this particular diet system, it was designed for people with cardiac issues. The intent of the diet was originally to cleanse the body of fast sugars and other not so nice things in order to save a patient's life! One of those, "get your diet sorted, or you'll drop dead," commands for your MD. The happy by-product was that patients were also dropping tremendous amounts of weight in the first week or two, hence the Dr that started it got rich after writing his book!
And you are suggested to eat eggs for breakie. I can't defend eggs enough, they have gotten a bad rap which is undeserved. Eggs also have a tendency to make you feel full until well after noon.
I hope this helps, don't be afraid to call me a complete twit if I am giving what you thing if daft advice, but I know what worked for me.
Kisses
