The only way to move forward is to look back on what i have done and learn from it.

Looking back i see that i was most successful with weight loss when i was eating drastically low carb. I CAN still lose weight eating at about 150g of carbs per day, but it is painfully slow.
I know that eating carbs i can maintain easily.
I know that i am much less tempted to eat sweets and mindlessly snack when i am eating low carb.
I feel more satisfied when eating low carb.

Therefore, i am going back to drastically low carb, or South Beach.

I thought about waiting for MOnday to start so i would have time to finish off all of the fruit i have but a wise friend once told me (a friend that lost over 100 lbs and kept it off for almost 5 years now), why wait for tomorrow when you can do it today? WHy wait for tomorrow to make a healthy decision? So i'm not waiting for tomorrow, i started this morning. I had ham and cheese with my eggs instead of toast. I brought black beans and celery to snack on rather than fruit.

I could sit here and dwell on the fact that i wasted an entire MONTH, or I could look at it and say 'leason learned'. I now KNOW what i need to do to keep the weight coming off and i know exactly what will slow me down. And i'm glad. :D

I am FINALLY out of my funk, and back to happy go lucky me.
