Once again in the WOE after a slip, and having dreams about doughnuts
Hi folks! Gregg here from Northern CA --
I've been doing low carb since last May (and lost about 40 lbs. and four inches off the waist). However, since about January, I've been going through personal changes, including a move. So I found myself back sliding -- a dessert here, a roll there. Next thing I knew I was craving ice cream, and eating some most nights.
I was on and off the WOE, so damage (in the form of more weight and inches) was minimal, but I knew I was at a crossroads. So, as of Sunday 4/25, I've been cheat-free, and feeling soooo much better.
And interestingly, Tuesday night, three days in without a cheat, I had a dream about eating a doughnut, and then eating a plate of pasta! How about that? Now, I have no desire for either (neither are my red-light foods, like ice cream -- fortunately most of the foods I've had trouble with on low fat diets are allowed in moderation in low carb) and it's not made me backslide. I just thought it was fascinating that I would be dreaming about eating carbs when I've eliminated them from my diet!
Anyway, I'm looking forward to participating in the forums here. I think they may be something that can help to keep up with the WOE. Look forward to talking with you.

By the way, "honu" is the Hawaiian word for sea turtle, my favorite animal. The grace, beauty and strength of sea turtles, even while being what may be considered by some to be a larger, more awkward size (like me), remind me of the characteristics I'd most like to develop in myself.
