I appreciate the shout outs to the lurkers (me) and know that I should pop in here and there, but I just haven't had the heart. Here is where we post about our "up a tad" "down a tad" victories or gains.
I have had no victories, only gains and this issue is getting quite tiresome for me.
I have gone so low carb it's practically no carb and I get on the scale each morning and each morning shows a gain. I am up to 206.4 this morning!! The highest I've been in 5 years!! I have been more active lately and everything!
And honestly, I know every low carb tweak in existence (how long have we all been at this now?) that I am not asking for any tips or advice and please don't take this the wrong way but I really don't want to hear them. It's partly why I haven't posted because some very good and kind-hearted person might say, "Well Kathy, have you tried xyz?" and all that will do is make me feel even more frustrated because most likely, yes I have. Let me correct that, it's not most likely that I have, it's most definitely. I've tried everything in the book and everything not in the book. lol So, it's been easier for me to just stay away. I don't want to hurt anyone's feelings by saying this so please don't take it the wrong way. You all are so incredibly supportive and right now the kind of support I need is more of a nodding in agreement that you get where I'm coming from.
Also, what is so upsetting is that fall is approaching and I know how my body acts as cooler weather approaches...it stores fat! Rrrrrrrrr! I can't win. I am not throwing in the towel...I love low carb so much. I don't know why, low carb doesn't love me. Well, weight wise anyway. I do feel much better eating this way compared to how I ate before. I'm making it about my health.
So, there you have it. My absence explanation. Bites, doesn't it?
As far as languages go...I'd love to check out that Babbel site for German. My German is eh! lol But, I'd love for it to go from eh to woohoo!
Hi Lab...it's good to see you!
Blue, glad you're feeling better.
