Back again (longish)

Time to get back into the swing of things again I think. Have been
struggling off and on plan for the past year or two, and I've decided
I really need to get serious. I've already gained back 20lbs of the
weight I'd lost, which is far too much. Added to that, my clothes are
beginning to not fit me

The main trigger for me falling off the wagon, was going out flatting
with other people. Suddenly I found myself......... embarassed?......
because I had a "weird" diet. And it was difficult being surrounded by
foods that I shouldn't eat. I struggle with temptation alot,
especially when it comes to biscuits, cake etc.

At the moment I'm doing my best to resist those things I shouldn't
eat. I'm also just trying to struggle through one day at a time, until
things get abit easier, which I'm hoping they will.

Apart from walking my dog, I haven't got back into the exercise thing
yet. I guess I want to do one thing at a time. I know exercise is
important, but so is regaining control

I'm happy to say the rest of my life is pretty much going great (touch
wood). I'm looking into study options for next year, to finally move
on from my current job. I've met a wonderful man, who accepts me as I
am and doesn't question my food choices. I've found a pretty easy
going flatmate, who at the moment is hardly ever here, so I get the
place to myself! And I'm back on anti depressants, which have totally
turned my mood around.

Life is good! Now if I could just shift some more of this weight,
things would be really great

Welcome back! I was just wondering about you after seeing your name in
Google. If it makes you feel any better, I gained back the entire 40
pounds I lost last year, and am back at it. For me, the key is portion
control - actually measuring the food I eat.

My clothes don't fit me, either. I've ripped seams out of both pairs of
"regular" cloth shorts I own, so I'm wearing just stretchy ones now. I'm
wearing a lot of Crash's clothes, and stuff I bought at a thrift shop. I
don't want to invest a ton of money on clothes I may only wear for a couple
of months.

Again, welcome back. You're going to do great. As you know, the support
here is just wonderful!

I've stayed with lowcarbing for a year and half by concentrating on
the things that I like that I *can* eat. I like shrimp and lobster,
so if I'm feeling deprived, that's what I have more of (yes, they
happen to be a bit on the pricey side, but if I'm not worth it, who or
what is?). Biscuits and bread are just bird food - they're in your
mouth for about 30 seconds and then they're gone...and forcing your
body to release insulin - tell yourself that the next time you're
confronted with a big basket of hot rolls. I live on the coast, and
when I go to a restaurant, I take the leftover rolls and feed them to
the seagulls or other birds outside. Lowcarbing isn't weird -
personally, I think the general population would do well to cut back
on spuds, bread, bagels, pasta and sugary cereals. I can't believe
how many people eat a bagel in the morning thinking that they're
being good because they're not eating a donut. Ask yourself what you
want more out of life - a hot roll or a healthy body that looks
half-way decent in normal clothes? Good luck... K.

Snip

You've been there before, so you know the routine. :-) Welcome back.

Take care,

Hey Miss Wobbles!!!

Welcome back!! I'm so glad to see you. I,too, am much heavier.

I am now weighing in (at last check) 173 lbs!! Looks like we are, yet
again, twins on the Low Carbing!

Why don't we become Low Carbing Buddies!! We are starting at the same
weight and I would LOVE to be 140 lbs again!!!!!!

My ultimate goal is still 125. But right now, I'd be thrilled to be 140!
What do you say???

I think that may be an issue for me as well. I tend to still eat past
the point of fullness and into stuffed.


My clothes don't fit me, either. I've ripped seams out of both pairs of

Me too. It's elastic waist bands until I lose enough to get back into
my jeans without cutting off my breathing lol

Yes, it is. I'm doing okay so far, although feeling abit dodgy at the
moment for some reason.
