I totally fell off the wagon yesterday. I have got to pull myself together. For whatever reason, I am craving again. TOM was kicking my butt for a bit and I was winning. Then yesterday. I can't even go into it. Its embarrassing. I am sure I didn't go over calories but carbs are another story.
I guess I need some prayers for willpower if my praying friends are reading this. I'm a bit stressed too. My brother is going through a lot with his little girl and ex. I will be leaving for Michigan on Thursday and I am not even sure if I get to see my niece when I go.
On the bright side of things, the weather continues to be beautiful and I love my new job. My husband is all done making first crop hay as of last night and we only have a few more calves to go. The corn looks good and Iowa continues to green up. It is really quite amazing how the countryside changes so much when spring and summer are in full swing. My drive in to work every morning has some of the most perfect scenery on the planet. Thank you, God, for the little things.

Did you go off plan over the weekend? You don't have an updated food log to look back on to see if you can figure out if something you took in 'triggered this'. And that would be my first guess. It's ok if you don't want to record yesterday - but in the long run it doesn't help you one bit. 6 months from now, you will be able to see the various weigh ins... when you were losing... when you were gaining... and there is valuable info in those food logs to help you regain the right balance of nutrients if you ever need to. (speaking from being in maintenance and needing to go back to OWL for a little while.) It's totally understandable after a couple of decades of TOM being to blame for cravings... but in all actuality, it was likely a spike in carbs. And WOW! it can be brutal on the mental game!!! So, lots of water, salad and veggies, meat, eggs, ... keep it clean. Fight thru this for a couple more days, and you will feel the pressure subside. Praying for you right now!!! Much Love.

Sherill, as you know, I am calorie counting and wouldn't presume to advise you on your diet. I'll leave that to your learned Atkins Buddies. I do know you have a lot going on and stress and TOM take their toll also. It is wonderful that you are counting your blessings and enjoying God's creation. You know that you are always in my prayers, dear friend. Have a blessed day!

praying for you dear friend. Just dust yourself off and hop back on the party boat. In a message this weekend, my husband shared "When adversity strikes you have one of three choices: You allow it (1) to define you (2) to destroy you, or (3) to strengthen you. There is no doubt in my mind of the course of action you will take resulting from this obstacle. None whatsoever. You're a winner! I believe in you.

I am praying for you Sherill...sorry you are struggling right now. You are up 2 pounds, but that could well be fluid retention due to TOM, too much salt, or just a normal fluctuation. The really difficult thing is that when we overcarb, it brings back the cravings! Try to stick to your low carb WOE even though you are under so much stress right now. Hugs and prayers for you, your brother, and his little girl!

Thanks everyone. I know the weight gain may be water. But, I was just possessed by the carb devil! Either that or I've turned into Sybil! Jumping right back on and I will try to stay on plan for y trip to Michigan. That should be easy at my brother's but not so easy with my mom!
