Active Low-Carber Forums - It's about time...

that I post again! I've been so busy with school and such that I haven't had the time to sit down and post what's been going on! *takes a deep breath* :eek:

Ok.. wondering if I should start with my weight loss stuff first or my other junk... I suppose weight loss because that's the most important and if you aren't interested you can skip over the junk after that ;)

My weight loss has been pretty steady. I noticed that, over a few days I had a little weight loss "surge" I'm not sure what that was about but.. when I started this diet (its been a little over 3 months now) I was wearing 5 rings, I am now wearing 1.. why? Because the others fell off! One I can't even find because it fell off when I was sleeping somewhere and the others I just set aside. I have 1 ring left, when I started this diet I could not take that ring off my finger without lots of lotion and extreme effort and pain, now I can slide it on and off with ease! Also, when I first got my jeans oh around the first week of April, I had gone a size down, the pants were a little snug but not bad, now they are starting to get a little loose on me, I mean they still fit but I definitely notice a difference. I also noticed something else!!! I lost an extra roll on my side.. I know, sounds gross but.. I feel great! My weight tends to accumulate there, and I'm glad to see that it's going away! Another thing and this is a *big one*.. a little over a week ago I went with my mom to go get some new bras, my bra was getting pretty big on me, and my mom needed a new one too. This particular store we go to has always carried 50E, So we go in, and they had moved everything around, I ask the sales lady for help and she informs me that they don't carry 50E anymore! I was so upset! Then my mom said "honey why don't you try on a DD bra, who knows, it might fit" guess what?? It FIT! I have gone down to a 46DD! WOW! I was shocked. I'm so glad that I'm getting smaller in the chest, a lot of women are so into getting larger chests but.. it's really not all that, trust me. Back aches, headaches, running into people and things, making cute shirts not fit, etc. I can do without that business thank you! Right now, it's that time of the month and I always feel SO FAT when it is. I'm probably losing weight but it feels like I'm gaining UGH.

The only "bad" thing I"ve done as far as cheating was, my stepdad gets these doughnuts and they are my favorite kind of doughnut (the old fashioned glazed kind) and he always leaves them sitting out!! I hate that! But at any rate.. I found myself curious and went and looked at the box, 30 carbs for 1 doughnut.. :P the next day.. I was up early and I was alone, staring at the doughnut box. I grabbed one, and thought "if I don't eat any other carbs today, it should be *ok*" I ate it, to my surprise there wasn't some magical flavor burst that I was expecting.. just a doughnut that was sweet. I have low carb candy, jello and whipped cream, I can live without doughnuts :P well the rest of the day I didn't eat anything, finally I broke down at dinner and had a can of tuna. I have fairly good willpower, and I was mad at myself for eating that doughnut. I hate being a slave to my fat. Go away! Dissolve and dissipate into nothingness! *I* am your master, and I tell you to go, shoo! hehe sorry it's morning and I'm still on my first cup of coffee. *gasp* hehe

Well I rattled on so much about the diet I don't have the time to get into my other stuff (aww shucks) ;)

Well there you have it folks.. that's how I'm doing! :)
