I feel much better

I started this WOE on Aug 4 and can't believe how much better I feel. No more stomach aches, a notable increase in energy, and a positive outlook. And to make it even better, I lost 6 lbs. I thought that carbs might be my problem but since I loved them so much; it was hard to face. Now I know that they just aren't worth it.

I've also stopped all alcohol. I'm doing this in solidarity with my sweetie who can't drink while he takes some medication. I didn't drink much, just a couple of glasses of wine on the weekend. I found that it impacts my food decision making and causes me justify to myself all the poor choices.

I've been lurking around this group reading but not replying. I just wanted to thank everyone for the positive attitudes about low carb dieting and for all the really helpful information. It's really true that this is much easier when you share the trip with others.

    You are off to a good start. My first two weeks of going low carb were the hardest for me. That was 10 months ago.
