Day 3

Down 3.5 pounds this morning.

Yesterday it was a bit harder staying within my goals. I got hit pretty hard with a headache and extreme fatigue after having little carbs for the first half of the day. I am trying to be careful because my last attempt at lowering my carbs caused me problems that threw things off for me and then spiraled into my stubbornness and non compliance. Ultimately I came in just over 100 g of carbs.

I was quite thirsty last night and just continued to drink water until satisfied. Today I will be patient with myself and allow my body to feel achy, tired, thirsty and remind myself it will be worth it. My body might protest but my mind has to be strong and not give into the temptations to make bad food choices. I will hang on and hope for the day to soon come where I will feel a whoosh of energy, peacefulness, health and lose some of the bloated feeling. I will do my best to allow myself permission to be uncomfortable through this process and break the cycle of my toxic eating habits.

Thanks for all the support. Especially to those of you who are starting or starting over. Be strong! And thanks to the lobgtimers for being such an inspiration and sharing your stories.
