I know I need to get rid of that junk...but in my head I thought "well, why don't I follow something that allows everything in moderation."
It truly is a battle. I am ready to do the work...and to make lifelong changes. I just want to make sure I am doing what is best.
Anyone else go through this?

I've been doing this WOE since 1972. 44 years! That's unimaginable! If you need proof that this eating LCHF will make you healthier, then think of me as an example. In July I'll be 71 and I walk 2 miles every morning before dawn, do yoga, take only one prescription medication (by choice, not because of an illness). I'm normal weight for my height, age and weight.
Like anybody, I go off plan when my mind fools me into it. Sugar can make my fingers hurt when I bend them first thing in the morning. All in all, I'm a healthy female example. My only illness was brought about by using IUDs and I had a hysterectomy. That's it! In all these years.
Eating "against the rules" is hard at first, but believe me when I tell you that it pays off.
