I'm a fan of sausage or brats. I also make a great almond flour pancake with butter. Eggs bore me too after awhile so it does help to mix things up a bit. The Atkins bars IMO do stall weight loss. I ate those and the shakes in the beginning and as soon as I ditched those I started losing again. The best advice is to think…

Having a normal relationship with food. I'm getting there

Mine looked similar but oops I ate it before taking a pic. Yummy!

Me too

I forget that all the time too. Went camping this weekend told myself I'd be good. Well I was not. So freaked out a little because I felt starving for 2 days until I upped fat. Now life is bliss.

Sounds like my MIL. "I could never give up carbs" as she stuffs down pizza and breadsticks. She also is Type 2 diabetic and her response to having high blood sugar after eating too much sugar is to take more insulin. I really feel bad for her, it's sad really.

It seriously must have been exciting to have all those choices not really realizing that it was crap. Now I look at that stuff and laugh. I don't think I have one boxed item in my house now. I guess when the apocalypse hits I'll starve ha ha.

My parents both grew up at the end of the depression so their thoughts on food were to eat every part of the plant/animal. Because of this I was a very adventurous eater. I always had to try something at least once but if I didn't like it I didn't have to eat it. Not much I don't like (this is a problem ha ha) We always…

Go Beavers! Wait do people eat beaver?!

I take magnesium at bed time. Helps me sleep and gets things moving in the AM. I know TMI but it works!

It It's because our brains don't have carb fog.

I feel better now in my forties than I did in my twenties and my weight hasn't been this low since 1996. I stil have weight to lose but this WOL makes staying under calories a breeze!!

Excellent work!!! You rock!!!

I have never even used Facebook Even though I have one ya I know I live in the dark ages but I'll give it a whirl

I was feeling crummy at work today. Not hungry just funky. Licked some salt off my hand....felt normal. Weirdest thing. Think I'll get a salt lick to keep at my desk

I've lost 32 lbs with this WOE. I don't want to go back to any other lifestyle. I have a ways to go but this works for me and is easy to stick with compared to CICO which was pure hell.

I think that things almost bigger than you are!! So awesome!

Right!? I too wear scrubs to work. I think they make everyone look larger than they are. I call them my work jammys.

Don't beat yourself up. Tomorrow is another day. :)

Stupid phone it was supposed to post a smiley smile. 5 pounds in 5 weeks is nothing to frown about. :)

Joining

Way to go!!! I've lost 31 lbs since 2/1/15 20 lbs since joking MFP.

I hear ya loud and clear. But it doesn't matter I know deep down that this way of life has been a God send. I have control over eating for the first time ever and that is huge.

Nice to have you. Feel free to add me.

Put it over broccoli or seafood like shrimp?

Feel free to add me. This woe has definitely helped me. Also my diary is open to friends.

Amen sister! I think your story is one that should be told as it is very typical of this journey. Self love is the hardest especially for women. All I have to say is you were beautiful then and now but not because of your outward appearance. It's because of the person you are. Hard to separate the two I know but you can do…

I have 3 pairs of shorts that I wear. One pair were tight-ish when I bought them one fit ok and the other were a little big but comfy. Now the tight ones are baggy and the other two forget about it. They have gone to the goodwill bag. Yeah!

Sauteed mushrooms in lots of butter
