ok, I finally was brave and stepped on the scale. I did go up but not as much as I felt I did. I am back full lowcarb this week so I feel good. I'm going take it one day at a time, that is the ONLY way I can make it. I give myself a 'pep talk' in the morning in front of the mirror and at the end of the day a 'congrats talk' for being good and true to my woe. The next day I reflect and acknowledge how good I feel for being true to my woe the day before, taking time to really 'feel & listen' to my body. How I don't feel bloated or sluggish, how I don't have the day after headaches or yuck feeling, how I actually FEEL GOOD and alert, how it will be a good day and I will continue with my woe for ME and I smile.
It will be a continuous battle but I feel it is a necessary one and one that will help me feel more alive and not just trugging along. I admit things happening in my personal life have attributed to alot of this feeling and alot of making me feel I need to escape, but escaping into high carb food and drink is not going to help me in the long run.
The instant 'gratification' I may feel with that piece of candy or chips is not going to last and is going to cause me to be down very quickly. I have to be here for me, to take care of me, no one else will do it and when it comes right down to it we are our own best friend and have to do it for ourselves :-)
