Well, I thought I would never be writing in this thread, but I have been having an affair with carbs the last month. Well, since Valentines Day to be honest. My wife made little sugar heart cookies for my girl, and I couldn't pass it up. Since then I can't seem to go a day without something bad to eat. And let me tell you, sugar sucks. When I began LCing, my cholesterol was 200 with my HDL at 46 and my triglycerides at 48. I had my blood drawn last week and now my total cholesterol is 282, my HDL is 44, and my triglycerides are 185! Thank you beer, ice cream, candy...ALL CRAP! Plus I gained 10 pounds back!!!!!

Now here I am, 15 minutes after my doctor's office called me with these latest numbers and I am freaking out about continuing a low carb diet thinking that I am going to die of heart disease at a young age all because I could not resist a stupid heart cookie!!! Rather ironic, huh?

Somebody please tell me something encouraging...
