Hi all,

I had a very bad week-end. I had family over and went on a carb fest. I actually went to McDonald last night!!!!

I am back on track this morning but not too proud of what I did to myself over the week-end. I don't dare step on the scale.

I know exactly how you feel. I did the same thing last weekend. But the most important thing is that you are back on track. Good luck and dont beat yourself up.....

My problems tend to come when I am out with friends. Most of my friends do not know of my LC diet. Everyone usually talk about what they are ordering and everything, meanwhile, I look over the menu...plan on ordering a cheese omlette/steak salad, then I get heckled for being unimaginative(or the classic), "you don't win friends with salad." Well, the next thing I know is I'm eating a bacon cheesebuger(with bun) or a cajun skillet with potatoes. I am losing my will power when I see people eating the good stuff, but only when I'm out to eat. Need more will.

I seem to be back on track now. I had egg and bacon this morning and chicken and asparagus for lunch. I am visiting some friends tomorrow hopefully I can stick to it then.

I started excercising this morning, 20 minutes of cardio. The tape I ave is sooo boring, I might switch to Tae-Bo later this week.

Has anyone use the Tae-Bo tapes?

I have the tae-bo tapes...and it takes more energy to learn the moves than anything. So I bought a richard simmons tape just to get me going and get in to shape enough for the tae-bo...Man...I laughed so much watching him...he is so funny. But if he will get my motor running and get my butt exercising then so be it....

Hi Nelso
I used to have the same problems with my friends -- I solved the problem by telling them that I had developed a lot of food allergies (not a lie -- I am allergic to carbs - they make me fat/bloated!). Problem solved. Be strong -- if you were diabetic they wouldn't heckle you to have sugar - would they? If the answer to that is yes -- you need to find new friends!
