Yesterday was supposed to be my big starting over day. Then we had supper at MIL's and she gave us two big bags of fudge. I indulged, then I ate some chips. Did great until that point though!
So today was my official start over day. I have been weaning myself on to it so it wasn't hard. My only slip up was I had some pumpkin soup from the freezer that had sausage made with some wheat in it (I since gave it all away. It was 1 carb/sausage). I wasn't sure as I usually used the kind without sooo...I was feeling ill tonight. Did great otherwise. I am drinking kefir though; there is some debate about it being low carb but I made my own and it is fermented, meaning the sugars are mostly eaten away (more fermented than yogurt is, I believe, and much better for you! My health is first).
I need to get some meat cooked up to help me over the initial slump of "what am I gonna eat??". I'm tired of boiled eggs, lol! Actually I have been pepping them up with some tandoori spice and curry seasoning I made (no fillers). The tandoori is soo good! I may make some ribs with it in the crockpot tomorrow.

Yo yo yo
I'm a yoyo. Nothing seems to work long. I gained back all the weight I lost this past month over the weekend. I have decided I need to go entirely grainfree and sugarfree if I am to ever lose this weight. I also need to avoid potatoes and starchy things. It is hard but necessary. I hate living like this but I know I have to. I am eating a lot of fermented foods, like sauerkraut and kefir because I want to restore my intestinal health. I think I mentioned I was going to be eating in a more nourishing traditions/traditional food type way. I just need to modify it to my needs, which is actually pretty common. I wish I could just take everything in the house I can't have and give it away because it's so hard to see the family eat things I can't and I don't think are good for them. I am slowly getting them off the junk though and trying to replace it with real food. It is a long, hard process.

Update
I haven't posted in a while. I haven't been low carbing, which is why. Right now I'm in an inbetween phase. I am in the process of getting diagnosed with celiac disease. It seems very likely that I have it so I have been on a gluten free diet. I have been eating small amounts of corn, potato, rice and sugar but way reduced from what I would be eating normal non-LC. It has only been a week so I'm not showing results yet, especially since an accidental glutening which caused me to gain 5lbs overnight.
I am going to go to a more low carb diet, I'm just phasing through it so I will stick to it better. Knowing that I cannot have gluten helps so much. I can't think of bread as a cheat, it is "if I eat this bread, it will make me sick and I have to go through the process of getting it out of my system again". Even if I do not have celiac disease, being gluten free helps so it may be an allergy or intolerance. From my reading, it is not good anyway.
I think it was the gluten that was making me crave. I can eat sugar and not get out of hand with my eating. However get some gluten in me and I become a beast who cannot stop eating. I always blamed the sugar but that was just a minor partner in crime (not totally innocent but not fully to blame).
I'm also leaning towards Traditional Foods/Nourishing Traditions. It's eating to nourish and heal your body. There are lots of fermented foods, pro/prebitoics, natural foods with lots of good fats and meat. I am still in the process of learning about it and I am waiting for books through inter-library loan.
There is just so much it makes my head spin but I will get to where I want to be some day :)
I started going to T-Zone a few weeks ago. Through that I have lost 10lbs and 14.25 inches. Everyone who goes is seeing results. It's 10 minutes a day of having your body vibrated/jiggled. It's fun and effective :)
My weight had really gone up. I got up to 25lbs less than my highest weight ever, which is scary. I am getting older and I can't keep letting this happen! I have kids to think of. I want to see my grandkids someday. I don't want to die because I caused myself to be unhealthy. This is something I can control!
