Back to lowcarb too
Hi Susan,
Congrats on rededicating yourself to a healthy lifestyle. You sound wonderfully postive and motivated so I know you'll do great! I notice our stats are fairly close too. I started lowcarbing here in June 02 at 178lbs and though I never reached my goal of 135, I did get down to 142 by late fall that year. For the next year I hovered around 142-144 and was still eating lowcarb though more at a maintenance level. That was till nov of this year. I was going to school full time and working part time and despite regularly packing my meals, I became seduced by the lure of the vending machines. lol Add Christmas in on top of that and I am now sitting at 155 again. I could kick myself for undoing my hard work - and even worse I don't really feel much motivation to start dieting again. But it's a new year and I'm smart enough to realize if I don't nip this in the bud it will only get worse. And low carb eating was never a problem for me till this past couple of months. Before even when I would have the occasional piece of birthday cake or other treat at special occasions, I was always able to start right back the next day to my normal meals.
So today I stocked the shelves and fridge with lowcarb stuff and tomorrow morning its back to a healthier lifestyle. After its two-month carbfest, I'm sure my body is going to be in major sugar withdrawal, but I'm hopeful if I can just get through the first week things will be ok. I'm going to dig my journal here out again too and start keeping track of my meals - that was a big help at keeping me focused on my goal before.
I wish you all the best with your weight loss goal for April. Do you have a journal? If so, I'll pop by and check on your progress - I know its much easier when you have support and others here to talk to. Good luck.
Anne
