My strategy until now has just been eating low carb with lots of veggies. This type of diet never makes me feel deprived, always keeps me full and has given me excellent result in the past. Let's face it, flour and sugar are just awful for our bodies as it is, so it makes sense that eliminating them would instigate quick results.
Not so much this time for me, unfortunately.
So, this week I took it one step further. This week I also began counting and restricting calories. I started measuring the amount of cream that I use in my coffee because it really adds up. I can't use a lower calorie option because they all have too much sugar. I've also started measuring my other food and monitoring portion control, which is always a problem for me. I am completely guilty of doing things like sampling as I cook and not counting it. Or, finishing something on my daughter's plate and not counting it.
It all worked out because this week I lost 4 pounds!!!!!!!!!! Thank God, I have found the answer! This brings my total to 14 lbs in 6 weeks.
This couldn't have come at a better time because I woke up feeling like a pudge ball.
I've been thinking about seeing some sort of therapist about my weight. It seems like I am constantly gaining and losing the same lbs over and over and over. I yo-yo continuously and I'd really like to stop. I know that I use food to comfort and cope, which isn't a healthy attitude. And when I'm not treating it like it's my friend, I'm definitely treating it like it's my enemy. Food is never just something to eat with me. There's something wrong with me, I swear.
