Thumbs up Determined to make it work this time!

Having tried low-carbing for a few weeks last Sep with great success, I can't exactly consider myself as a newbie. I remembered I felt great..lost quite a bit of weight and able to fit in my new clothes..never mind that my brother often teased me about my bad breath(He used to say that my breath could kill all living things within a mile).

Unfortunately, I got a new boss at work. He's one whom you might describe as verbally abusive. Being a fresh graduate, I wanted my first job to work out.. so I beared with all his nonsense. After the end of each stressful working day, I wanted something comforting..and that's right, I turned to carb-loaded food..the worst kinds..chocolates,cakes,sweets...anything that my filthy hands had laid on.

Before I even had the chance to say "Uh oh", I gained back all the weight I have lost...and alot more extra pounds. Whenever I met my friends(Those that congratulated me when I lost weight) on the streets,they all gave me that weird look. Must be thinking that I have set a record in gaining weight so fast. My relatives never failed to comment on why I can be twice my petite's sister's size when we are both 'produced in the same factory'. My self-esteem plummeted and my weight continued to soar..I began to think I'm doomed to be the fat and ugly gal forever..

After feeling miserable for the past few months, I finally couldn't take it! No, I'm not deciding to do something foolish like committing suicide..I just decided I wanted my life back. I wanted my happiness(and my trim waist!!)!! I tendered my resignation first,feeling quite satisfied to see my boss practically begging me to stay on. But after all that verbal abuse?! Hell no!

Next, I'm going to clean up my diet. I'm not starting tomorrow, I'm starting now. In fact, I have already cleared the cupboards of all temptations!(Bye bye,evil oreo cookies! ). Now, armed with some butter and a few eggs,I'm going to make myself some delicious fried eggs! Yummy yummy..

Guyz, please give me a second chance at low-carbing!I promise it's going to work this time!
