CAD Newbie!
Hello Everyone!
My name is Lisa, Im 32, and I am a newbie to the CAD woe but not new to lowcarbing. Have done Atkins in the past and did make it to goal. But I have been binging big time lately and have really blown up like a balloon. I am about 13lbs or so over my goal weight right now and I HATE it. More importantly I hate the feeling I have when I binge eat. I have felt like I am spinning out of control. Sooo I have decided to give CAD a go. I bought the book yesterday. I actually started CAD on Sunday though. I have dropped 6lbs in two days but I know that is water weight I gained from being on a binge fest for a couple days before starting CAD. But as long as the scale is going down and not up, I don't care if it is just water weight. I have to say that my cravings seem under control so far which is something that I NEVER really had on Atkins. And I must say I never experienced the surge of energy on Atkins like most ppl say they do. I always felt drained.
Im really excited about the possibility of finally being in contol of my eating now. With Atkins I would go to bed dreaming of foods I couldn't eat and just felt like a slave to food. So far I feel fine on CAD and I have not binged with my reward meals. I kinda thought I would at first but there is no need to binge because you get a reward meal every day! So if there is something I missed eating today then that's ok because I can eat it tomorrow. I must admit I am a bit scared that I will stop losing and will start gaining. I guess I am having a hard time letting go of my Atkins woe rules. Anyway, didn't mean to write a book here. Just wanted to introduce myself and say "Hello" to the fellow CAD eaters out there! Wish me luck!
Lisa
