Karen - how long have you been low-carbing? I have done this successfully before, but seem to only last two weeks before I fall again . . . in spite of the fact that I felt better and looked better. I want to deal with the reasons why I fell the last time, and was wondering about that. Maybe I use food for comfort, and missed that . . . so I want to change what I use for comfort. It seems boring after a while for food to only be a fuel when you are used to it being enjoyable. Yes, I know that the health benefits are way up there and the long term benefits far out weigh short term pleasure . . . but anything you did to help you change your thinking about missing the old way of eating would be appreciated. I really, really want to succeed this time! Not fall of the wagon for several months before I get so depressed I try again!
