Hi there my name is Tisha and I've been dabbling in a low carb lifestyle since the beginning of May. I have been keto for about 6 days now and think I have found my way to succeed. I have realized over the past month or so that carbs are the driving force behind my overeating/ food addiction. The more carbs I eat the more I want. This morning I baked cookies with my daughter and for the first time ever I had zero interest in having one. She asked if I was going to have one and I actually said " no sweetie, if mommy has one I'll want ten more." Realizing the power carbs have had over me is a huge NSV for me. Anyways looking for other low carb friends plz feel free to add me.

    Keep it up. You're adjusting well. It will get even better the lower you go with your carbs...

    Read th Launch Pad, especially the post on electrolytes! You're off to a wonderful start! Congratulations on avoiding the cookies!! Brought me back to a year ago, when I baked brownies for my son's class party (he was a senior, so it was his last school party), and managed to not eat any! This builds strength for next time too! Welcome!

    Plus you are being an awesome example to your daughter. Keep up the good job. Keto way of eating over the past 20 months has apparently revered several of my major health issues.
