Best of luck to you! I am absolutely amazed at how much better I feel since beginning this woe. Aside from the weight loss, I have so much more energy and I am no longer a slave to food. My physical cravings are almost entirely gone and I only occasionally wish I could have something off plan, out of habit, or in a social situation where I wish I was "normal." But it is all worth it. I also have discovered that my moods are much more stable and my depression and anxiety have significantly decreased.
Be aware if you haven't done LC before that the "Atkins flu" will be miserable and the cravings may seem unbearable a few days in but it will get better in short order! I have always been a binge eater, so during the first week, when all I could think about was food, namely carbs, I allowed myself to binge on induction friendly foods. It was the only way I could get through it. And here I am seven weeks later, 23lbs lighter and feeling confident that I can reach my goal. Keep on keepin' on. You'll be glad you did!
