Anniversary dinner

If you remember that you had pizza, in February no less, I would say
that you haven't come to terms with this WOE, and a normal relationship
with food. You'll get there in time. :-)

As I recall, I did have some pizza, back in February. I learned from
my
mistake.

It sounds to me like you're well on your way to long lasting success. I
wish you the best in your weight loss journey. :-)

It's terrible to think that you've been this stupid you're whole life.
Especially at your age.

In your case, the food obviously keeps you full of ****. Sit down and
take a hard one, you'll feel better. :-)

Yup. Food made me fat, so I'm going to start eating something else
instead. Not sure what yet. Maybe compact discs, or blankets.

Wasn't it Nina who used to say " people, it's only food?" Knowing that
you can go out for a special dinner once in awhile, without it changing
your whole life or ruining your eating plan is what I call LC success.

I have only 3 flaws. My first flaw is thinking that I only have 3 flaws.

There have been many posts about eating excessive carbs, where the poster
seems to be bragging about the carby thing they are going to eat. It
usually comes with a collection of rationalizations about why the carbs
are
ok on this occasion. Often the occasion is in some way "special."

To really succeed at this LC thing, we need to adjust to the LC
way-of-life.
At the time of my comment, I was really thinking about the effect these
posts have on others, but as a mechanism of self delusion, they might be
unwise for the posters as well.

I did not mean to suggest that you should not share about your approach
to
managing low carb. Maybe, instead of pointing out the adverse effect
your
falling off the wagon (jumping) might have on others, I should have
simply
chastized you for it. Hmmm. I don't like a punative approach. Indeed,
with that in mind, I should have pointed out how wonderful your health
and
appearance will be if you can stick to things.

I recently attended a birthday gathering where only two of us ate
nothing,
while the group, about 30, had full carb ice cream and cake. Everybody
seemed to accept this. I was surprised. I thought I would catch some
flack
for not eating it. Apparently, here in the Silicon Valley, low carb is
respected, even by those who do not participate. January's surge in the
press may have had an impression.

Low Carb fails, when dieters return to eating the carbs. Viewing carby
meals as special treats is setting the stage for future failure. We
should,
like Iggy, actively search for the path to lifelong success.




I don't believe that low carb is going to fail if you have special
dinners. I think the opposite happens -- if you restrict yourself too
much, then you fail. I will continue to have treats for special
occasions.

As a person who also was in this club, I would agree! It sounds like you
had a wonderful meal! It also sounds like that your tastes have changed, I
mean you mentioned the one appetizer being "too sweet". I know I have found
myself eating something and noting it to be "too sweet". Those words coming
out of my mouth? Whoda thunk?
