well, i guess it is time i start a journal and try to keep track of my low carb success :eyes: ! i am ending day 2 now and the cravings are here along with some minor stomach discomfort. i feel pretty good about how this is going, but it does take some time. today while making chicken fried rice for the kids and DH, i tasted it . i caught myself as soon as i did it too. i hope i will be thinking and watching for that tomorrow.

i'm still working towards my water goal and i am anxious for the day i reach it!

my life is really stressful right now with family issues, but i felt like i need to reclaim my health and that is why i am here. no time like the present i guess you could say! i want to be here for my children when they are older and i want to enjoy life again.

i look forward to getting to know all the great people here on the board too.

Great to see you start a journal Kelly, it will help you along the way. We are here for you whenever you need us

I have to catch myself to not lick the spoon when heating up things like mashed potatoes or sweet potatoes. Not htat the carb count is so high but I don't want to trigger a craving and eat the whole bowl. You'll get better about those things, they are just such hard habits to break.
