I know that the main reasons I'm the happiest eating low carb. is I not tired, not in the morning, especially not after I eat and I'm not up in the middle of the night with heart burn that could stop a elephant dead in it's tracks. I see that there are fellow WOL people here that have struggle with their wieght far greater than I have and maybe thinking that I don't understand the pain. I know what it's like to get 10 hours sleep and still be exhausted and I know what it's like to be cranky with everyone and depressed. I did the antidepressant thing and spent a month in the hospital. The important thing here is that no matter what the reason you come to this WOl it is the end product that we are all looking for to be happy healthy and stronger because of the journey.
