It has been a while....
Posted 06-21-2009 at 06:54 PM by Keptewe
since I posted to my blog. I have been reading the boards just not taking the time to write about my personal "journey". The reality is that not much has been ahppening with my WOE and I am starting to rethink this whole LC thing. 
Here's the deal...I have been stuck at 150lbs for about a month. Don't get me wrong...I love the fact that I have been able to maintain this weight. There have definately been some eating challenges over the past few weeks. Times when I felt like throwing in the towel and eating a bunch of HC food.
For the most part...I have stayed on plan...eating less than 50g of carbs and less than 1400 cal/day. The problem is that I don't think that I am going to lose any more weight unless I drop my caloric intake further. That means that I am back to hunger. I don't think I can DO hunger. And...of course I am asking the question...."If I have to eat less than 1300 cal/day to lose the last five pounds....does it really matter what form the calories are in? Like does it matter if they are in carbs or not if I still have to keep it low cal?" 
I know that one of the tenets of the LC WOE is that eating LC keeps you from feeling hungry on fewer calories but I am not sure if I believe it. I still crave sugar and starch, even when I am eating less that 50g a day. Maybe a piece of toast would be a better choice than a handful of almonds?
So...that's about it. I haven't changed anything yet. I am still eating LC. In fact, I am a little afraid to do anything different because I am SO afraid of regaining my weight lost. But...I am having my doubts if I can continue on this if I am not losing weight and if it ends up being about calories and not carbs. This week...I am going to stick with the LC plan. TOM arrived this morning so I don't think it is a good time to mess around with anything. But....if I don't lose anything this week, I might try eating whatever I like as long as it is under 1400 cal/day and just see what happens.
Usually, I am a real LC cheerleader! All I can honestly say tonight is...everyone who reads this? We are all in this same boat and I hope your side of the ship isn't rocking as much as mine is right now. Peace.
