I had about a week of going on and off plan and was really stuggling with emotional eating. I learned some very important things--I feel like crap when I eat sugary, floury, carby foods, and the lc woe really works. After 2 days of being back on plan consistently, I realized just how good I feel when I eat this way. And I believe I am finally making peace with food. It doesn't have power over me anymore. I needed my off plan week to give me confirmation information that I can make food choices to nurture myself and the consequences of that are so positive that they outway any gratification I may get from downing a half a gallon of ice cream. I don't need to do that anymore, and if I decide I do want to do that again, I don't have to shame myself or think I blew it. I just need to keep getting back into the swing of things. I am so happy I found this website because it keeps me coming back!:rockband: ]]> cinnamin http://lowcarbeating.com/low-carb-diet-support/blogs/cinnamin/250-peace-food.html http://lowcarbeating.com/low-carb-diet-support/blogs/cinnamin/206-im-shrinking.html Fri, 10 Oct 2008 13:46:12 GMT I saw my family members yesterday that I haven't seen for about a month. When I walked in, all of their mouths dropped open. The compliments kept coming about how "thin" I looked. I was on cloud nine all night because about three months ago, I never even imagined that anyone would be describing me as looking "thin".
I was wearing size 16 pants, and they really fitted...when I put them on, my husband said, "you look hot" and I pinched myself to see if I was dreaming. This woe works. The crazy thing is that for weeks it seemed like nothing was changing, not the scale and not the way my clothes fit. and then...boom...one day I woke up and I had shrunk...success is such a good incentive!:reddance: ]]> cinnamin http://lowcarbeating.com/low-carb-diet-support/blogs/cinnamin/206-im-shrinking.html http://lowcarbeating.com/low-carb-diet-support/blogs/cinnamin/195-back-wagon.html Mon, 29 Sep 2008 14:10:55 GMT I had a pretty rough weekend. A client of mine passed away this week and it hit me really hard--I chose to use my "old" favorite foods as comfort through the entire weekend. It was like I became a different person. I could not get enough, and it didn't even make me feel better. I was basically shoving down any high carb/sugary food I could get my hands on. I got really scared! It felt out of control. I am back on plan today and I feel pretty clear about how much low carb works for me. I felt like crap from eating like that, both physically and emotionally. I am hoping it didn't set me back too far in my weightloss. I was doing so well and everyone was really starting to notice I was losing weight.:hairsup: ]]> cinnamin http://lowcarbeating.com/low-carb-diet-support/blogs/cinnamin/195-back-wagon.html http://lowcarbeating.com/low-carb-diet-support/blogs/cinnamin/189-off-plan-back.html Mon, 22 Sep 2008 14:10:16 GMT Well, last night was the first time I went off my eating plan, but I did it consciously! I have had a bad cold for almost a week and had to go on an antibiotic. I was feeling pretty weak and sick last night, so we went to a nearby diner where I ate some foods I wouldn't have on the plan. But I did this by choice--I saw it as a way of nurturing myself. And I did it without shame, knowing that I wouldn't let it throw me off my plan. Well, the food didn't taste as good as I would have hoped, but I am so glad I don't have to see this anymore as breaking a diet. I have a new way of eating, and when I go strayed, it felt plain weird. So I am happy to be lowcarbing today, because it just feels normal to me! ]]> cinnamin http://lowcarbeating.com/low-carb-diet-support/blogs/cinnamin/189-off-plan-back.html http://lowcarbeating.com/low-carb-diet-support/blogs/cinnamin/188-another-loss.html Sat, 13 Sep 2008 12:51:07 GMT I lost another 8 lbs since last month's weigh in. I'm only weighing myself once a month so the daily and even weekly fluctuations don't get in the way for me. I work out at the gym and am seeing more inches coming off than lbs anyway. Just wanted to share my success. Being a part of this community has given me staying power! Some days have definitely been a struggle for me, but I moved through them. I am starting to like the way I look sometimes when I get dressed up and the compliments have started to come. I am so thankful to have found the lc lifestyle.:yippee::cheer2: ]]> cinnamin http://lowcarbeating.com/low-carb-diet-support/blogs/cinnamin/188-another-loss.html http://lowcarbeating.com/low-carb-diet-support/blogs/cinnamin/187-gratification.html Tue, 02 Sep 2008 12:02:49 GMT Well, I took your advice and wore fitted clothes yesterday to a labor day party. It was a big stretch for me because I have been so used to hiding for the past couple of years. Soon after I got there, I heard my mom's friend whisper to her, "did Ally lose weight?" My mom started bragging about how committed I have been to my new eating plan. And when her friend asked how I am doing it, she gave me a predictable response when she found out. She stated her concerns with eating "high fat" and that she was concerned that my cholesterol would go up and that I would die soon from a heart attack-at 34 years old. The way I handled this...I cut off a nice size piece of cheese that was being served as an appetizer and I thouroughly enjoyed every bite!!! ]]> cinnamin http://lowcarbeating.com/low-carb-diet-support/blogs/cinnamin/187-gratification.html http://lowcarbeating.com/low-carb-diet-support/blogs/cinnamin/184-i-think-im-trouble.html Fri, 29 Aug 2008 21:07:08 GMT I am really stressed out today.

I have been doing so well and tomorrow will be a month on the plan. Today I feel like eating everything not on the plan. I am fantasizing about chocolate and ice cream, and this is the first time this has happened to me. And my thinking is negative--I keep telling myself, "what if this isn't working?" "what if I stay fat forever?" "What if all this hard work doesn't pay off?" It is so scary to think like this but I am having a really hard time shutting this stuff off. I ate many many many spoonfuls of peanut butter through the day to try to get that fix--I dont' think I am going to go off the plan, but I have gotten pretty close today--HELP!!! ]]> cinnamin http://lowcarbeating.com/low-carb-diet-support/blogs/cinnamin/184-i-think-im-trouble.html http://lowcarbeating.com/low-carb-diet-support/blogs/cinnamin/175-low-thyroid-function.html Thu, 21 Aug 2008 12:52:03 GMT Well, this way of eating is becoming a part of my life now. I can't believe it is almost three weeks.
I have a question for anyone who may know about supplements to take to support the thyroid. My blood tests have been normal for thyroid, but my doctor thinks my thyroid is underactive still based on all of my classic symptoms. She tried me on cytomel (t3) a couple of times and I had an allergic reaction to it. I am looking for a supplement that is safe that may help because she thinks my underactive thyroid may make it difficult to continue losing weight. Any suggestions? ]]> cinnamin http://lowcarbeating.com/low-carb-diet-support/blogs/cinnamin/175-low-thyroid-function.html http://lowcarbeating.com/low-carb-diet-support/blogs/cinnamin/169-sharing-difficult-day.html Sun, 17 Aug 2008 01:32:05 GMT Well, the hemp protein tasted pretty bad. I felt like a horse because it tasted like grass. I could handle the taste, but I think it made me hungry. I felt ravenous all day today, the first time since I started the lc plan. It was kind of scary to be so hungry, but I didn't go off of my plan. My eating was disordered because I was busy with my family and didn't get a chance to sit down once to have a nice meal. On the go eating makes me feel like I didn't even eat. I did resistance training at curves yesterday for the first time since starting lc plan. Maybe that is why I was hungry today. I know it is normal to feel hungry, but I was insatiable. I think I may have overeaten the right foods, I guess that is better than going off the plan. Anyway, thumbs down on the hemp and I just wanted to share about the chaos of my day and how it affected my eating. Tomorrow I am going to try to be much more thoughtful about my meals. ]]> cinnamin http://lowcarbeating.com/low-carb-diet-support/blogs/cinnamin/169-sharing-difficult-day.html http://lowcarbeating.com/low-carb-diet-support/blogs/cinnamin/166-success-14th-day.html Fri, 15 Aug 2008 18:25:50 GMT I weighed myself this morning for the first time since I stared plan. I lost 6 lbs in 12 days. I'm on my 14th day but didn't weigh myself at the very beginning. I had a doctor's appt. today and her scale showed I lost 10 lbs. I am still going by my own scale, but I am really excited. This is working and I am actually enjoying my meals. I never thought I could lose weight while eating foods that taste good. I'm so happy I have embraced a low carb way of life and I am so happy to have found this website. The support has helped me tremendously, so thanks to everyone. ]]> cinnamin http://lowcarbeating.com/low-carb-diet-support/blogs/cinnamin/166-success-14th-day.html http://lowcarbeating.com/low-carb-diet-support/blogs/cinnamin/164-question.html Thu, 14 Aug 2008 12:29:55 GMT I like to drink protein shakes in the morning and have been using whey or egg white protein with only 1-2 carbs per serving.

It has 9 total carbs, but 8 grams of fiber. I am in induction still and want to know if anyone has any feedback about this.

The plan I am following said to take psyllium husk and that made me crampy and gave me a headache so I found unifiber. It is a powder and one tbsp has 3 grams of fiber with only 1 carb. It is like eating an entire bran muffin without the fiber. I take it twice a day and I'm having great results. Just wanted to share for anyone who is interested. Constipation was one of my biggest concerns when starting this plan because I used to eat tons of fiber before I started low carbing. Unifiber can be ordered online and is sold at some drugstores. ]]> cinnamin http://lowcarbeating.com/low-carb-diet-support/blogs/cinnamin/162-great-fiber-supplement.html http://lowcarbeating.com/low-carb-diet-support/blogs/cinnamin/160-im-newbie.html Mon, 11 Aug 2008 23:09:03 GMT Hi, this is my 9th day of a low carb eating plan.

I think the reason it is working for me is that I am eating butter, heavy cream, good oil, and eating rich cheese. I do not think I would be able to maintain a low fat low carb diet because it would feel too restrictive. I have been depriving myself my entire life and every meal has seemed like a chore, unless I was just not caring and eating all of the wrong things. This low carb lifestyle is the first thing that has made me feel good, like I am restricting carbs, but can still enjoy my food and not count everything and obsess to the point that eating is a chore.
I haven't weighed myself yet but my clothes are getting loose. I do get a little nervous sometimes that this might not work because of the high calorie, high fat. I guess I just need some feedback from people that have done it this way and have succeeded. ]]> cinnamin http://lowcarbeating.com/low-carb-diet-support/blogs/cinnamin/160-im-newbie.html
