I know I don't keep up with this blog but I just wanted to pop in to say I have started again. I am trying not to make it a big deal that I'm low carb-ish again because that seems to set me up for failure. Since Saturday, I have lost 11lbs. Yes, eleven pounds in 4 days. I cannot believe it but it just shows you how ready my body is to accept low carbing again and how negatively the tons of gluten I was eating was affecting me.
I know it will not keep melting off like this and I think I know the point where it will start to get hard. I'm not extremely low carb because I know if I start low, it will get to a point where I feel I have to go lower and lower and I don't want to do that. My carbs have been around 50 a day, so not exactly ketosis levels.
I am tracking what I eat at Spark People. I am eating as much as I want and still below my ideal calories, even with 120-ish grams of fat a day.
I don't know why it's so hard for me to accept that this is the way I need to eat and that junk does not have a place in my body. I will get it eventually!
