i also had the I’ll start on Monday mentality. That is, until the day my doc told me I was not borderline anything, but full-blown Type 2 diabetic. That was my wake up call. FInally. By making serious carb changes in my life, the weight was a happy by-product. Everything must be balanced, fat is necessary in a healthy diet also. But it should be healthy fat (like olive oil). We need carbs to functiona nd for energy. But we need to get them, from complex sources like sweet potato, brown rice, whole wheat, as opposed to “white” forms of those foods. A regular potato is not necessarily unhealthy for most people. Just not for me, right now. And bake it, don’t fry it. You can safely oven fry potatoe wedges with spray on cooking oil, and get virtually the same effect as deep fried.
