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...

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?"

Well, this way of eating is becoming a part of my life now. I can't believe it is almost three weeks.

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...

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...
