I have been a low carber for the last 5 years and have managed to lose just over 60 pounds. However, during this journey to being a healthier, thinner me I met my husband. I have been married just over a year and managed to gain back 15 of those hard to lose pounds.

I have been trying to get back on it with no success. I find that I have mad cravings. Cravings that I didn't really have before. I go nuts and eat like I haven't ate in a long time.

So, here...

I woke up with a headache this morning. I know it's the stress from work. Lots of stress! I don't even want to go into it because it ties my stomach up in knots. The only thing I have to be thankful for is that I haven't binged on the carbs. I am a stress eater but so far . . . and I will not allow my crappy supervisor to take all my self control away. I've cried enough tears the last couple days to flood an ocean. I'm so thankful for good coworker friends who are supportive of me and keep me laughing....

So, I've had 2 out of town events that caused me to go way, way off my plan. Funny thing, though. I gained maybe 3 lbs. That's all. I can easily gain 3 lbs even staying on plan, so this is really weird for me.

We had our annual Texas Housing meeting this past week. We stayed at the Hilton. Boy, it was not cheap! I never can figure out why the expensive hotels charge for everything (internet access would have been $10.95 a day; we stay at a cheap little motel and get free access, paying...

I had such a crappy day yesterday. On the flip side, today should be better because I think I got all the obnoxious inmates seen yesterday. I came home and wanted to cry. In fact, I did a little bit. But thankfully I did NOT get into the carbs.

Oh, and whoever (on another board) said those Flax Crackers were tasty LIED! Sure, maybe the flavor might be good but it's like putting flavored seeds in your mouth. I don't know why the company didn't grind the seeds to make the crackers....

My friend made me the most delish low carb gumbo! I added a bit of chicken to it to fill it up and I am also going to give it to DH for dinner tonight. This new woe is really fun and I am soooo happy that my cravings are gone....for now at least. I did my hike today and plan to do it again tomorrow. I really like getting in shape and the best thing about this woe (besides the food) is that feeling of being satisfied but not stuffed, bloated and yucky. Its amazing how all of the carbs I craved...
