I don't know how many times I've started a low carb diet and fallen off the wagon after three or four weeks... This time is different. I'm seeing a therapist about my eating disorder, and I'm slowly realizing that I'm actually worth something.

This is the beginning of my journey towards a thinner, healthier body, and I hope that you will walk a step or two with me.

Welcome Albertine...putting on my walking shoes and ready to step along with you on your journey!!

Hi Albertine, I do remember you.. I wish you much success this time around! Sometimes it really does take some help to get beneath the issues surrounding our eating. Good for you for recognizing that need and seeking professional support. IMO, that' a great sign. Trust me, you are certainly worthy and deserving. Keep believing in yourself!

Happy to have found a WOE that works well, frustrated that I just jumped up a pound since yesterday. Thinking of throwing the scales out of the window, but I'm just too attached to the darn thing. Also thinking about writing my meals here, will do so tomorrow.

Didn't write down my meals, should've done so. Maybe I can find the reason why I've gained another two pounds. Have had my first period in almost four months, could that have something to do with it?

That could definately have something to do with it, Albertine. I can typically gain anywhere from 2-6 pounds when TOM hits. It usually goes away again near the end, and when I'm lucky takes an extra pound or so with it. I hope your extra goes away soon
