I think I finally GOT IT

[kram95]

omg...I think I am finally after trial and error since the 1st of January and lots of falling off the wagon and back on I have FINALLY got the hang of this.After 2 weeks of first starting in January I went off the plan and I have been back on 2 and half weeks now.I have got to the point now where I am not craving food as bad and as long as I eat breakfast and lunch I feel pretty good.Now I have a long way to go to totally follow this by the book but I think with me the lil baby steps have helped me get the strength to do this.I did although mess up this past monday.I had a meeting all day at work and I did not plan a lunch.And that ended up really bad come that afternoon My roomate and I planned to go out for a low carb dinner and I was soooooooooooo hungry I ordered this salad at Bob Evans called A frisco salad and that would not have been so bad BUT I had 3 yes 3 rolls.And let me tell you not only did I regret eating them but I felt so much like crap that whole evening.Well all in all considering my will power is improving daily I feel pretty good about my progress so far.Even though I know if I would have started with the will power that I am gaining now my loss would be so much better at this point.But I know I am on the right track.I am also taking baby steps into exercises.I bought a abb roller last week and have started using that.Now if I can only get to the gym.Its pretty pathetic I can go for free and its in my apt complex and I have yet to go but I know I will get there.And I have a minor goal now and I am not sure if it is to much of a goal.But I would like to lose at least 20 lbs by the end of April.I am going back home to see the damage hurricane Katrina caused and I would like to surprise everyone with a changed ME.I think that will also increase my will power.Also I am starting to get compliments from co workers that they are noticing my stomach and face looks a little smaller.And let me tell you that is one of the best motivators when u start getting compliments from people.But a part of me also wonders if they are just saying those things for enncouragement.Welll who cares it feels good...lol...ok I will stop rambling on now...

Good for you practicing carb harm reduction each time and getting right back on the plan.

Re: I think I finally GOT IT

Aren't the complements the best!!! I always loved others asking how much have I lost and wow you look great and stuff like that. I really liked all the attention from my Husband too.
