Hello,
I have been part of this board before but never posted very much. Just thought that I would let people know I was here again and that I have to start over.
I really blew it this time. I got lax first because I had so much pressure on me and almost no support. I am living with my daughter and her husband and while sympathetic they weren't going to change their eating so I eventually stopped trying to eat strictly.
To make a long, pretty predictable story short---I blew off about two years of my lowcarb lifestyle to enter yo-yo land again. I haven't gained all my weight back yet but I have to stop now and begin again. I will need some real talking to do it I think.
I will post this in the newbie section although I am pretty experienced, have read all the literature, et. al and do "know" what I have to do. Knowing and doing are two different things. I just feel lots of failure at this point and can't figure out where to jump back into the WOL that once gave me a lot of hope.
I had stalled out pretty bad and I also kept running into information that the older you got the less likely that you would lose without superhuman effort. There seemed to be a combination of things that spelled danger even before I finally went off.
Basically, I am afraid to go to a completely Newbie mode because I need advice from some folks who have been in this particular rut. I do know how to do this but its not working for me to just talk to myself. I want to have some conversation with others that are in the same boat with me. That would be my best hope for posting this. I am not ashamed to start all over again, but I don't want to pretend I do not know the basics. It wasn't a lack of knowledge that got me to this point. So, I need to make some commitments. Anyone want to give me a "hand," so to speak? Thank you
