So the holidays are now over, and I have really struggled getting back to my WOE. I have decided that it must be liken unto an alcoholic. You cant just have a drink and be ok. Christmas time killed me. I gained a few pounds less than 5 and talked to my nutritionist today and she calmed my fears. I am on track today. I wasn't have a cheat day it was a cheat month. Ok. I am letting out a big breath. Why is it I always do really well for about 40-50 pound weight loss then, boom, I let it go? I guess that is why I need all your support. I refuse to repeat. I am chasing so fearful ghosts around I don't want to join them. My two brothers died at 67 and 62 and my mom at 67, I just turned 67. I refuse to repeat history! My plan is for 85 to 90 years old. Anyway, I am sharing my issue for this year. I have to get past 67 yrs old! Maybe that is why I am stress eating--I really didn't want to turn 67. Well I am here, and I am healthy. Thanks for letting me vent. B

I am just starting back after eating "USDA Recommended style"---back to low carb and it is hard. Food I do better without is everywhere and food I do great with is something that must be intentionally prepared. You have to be prepared and have a plan all of the time---that is my personal truth at this point anyway. I have been telling people that I am "eating low carb" like it is diet or something. But, the truth is my biology can't handle bread, noodles, cake, sugar etc. I do great on meat and vegetables. But the good news is after that first week or two, my head is clearer and my resolve it there. SO, I propose just celebrating where you are today and not looking back. It is a positive thing that you enjoyed your holidays but that you were not lost in them. I have been "lost" for... years? I was even oblivious to the fact that I had a weight problem until 2 weeks ago. I mean I knew I was a couple sizes heavy, but I had no idea I was 75 pounds overweight and frankly. fat as butter. All the best to you as your success is born out of your grief. And, I truly admire your courage.0

Sitting at MCDONALD'S clearly based on food on tables and associated BMI's carbs are the in food group. At 63 with failing health I was not able to wean off carbs so 15 months ago I left all grains and most all sugars cold turkey. Health is better than in 20 years and under 200 pounds for first time in 22 years.0
