Good idea, I'm in! I particularly like your #1 - so true, but I hadn't consciously realized it until I saw what you'd written.

BENEFITS OF LOW CARB EATING AND WEIGHT LOSS

1. I spend more time thinking of the positives about myself rather than the negatives: When I overeat, I berate myself, tear myself down, beat myself up, etc. What is constantly on my mind are negative thoughts. When I eat well, I see myself in a new light, I imagine all my possibilities and what I can accomplish in my life.
2. I have less back pain as I lose weight.
3. I have more energy when I eat low carb.
4. I have more energy at a lower weight.
5. I feel less puffy when I eat low carb.
6. Instead of focusing and thinking about...hmmm what sweets/carbs/etc can I eat next and then spending the time eating them, I instead spend my time doing things I love, like gardening, photography, reading.
7. I have fewer depressive episodes when I eat low carb
8. I am much more focused and can concentrate better on what I'm doing
9. I don't get any wind, ever!
