Phoebe's Meowing

Right now I hate low carb.
I'm on day 13 of induction, or day 3 if I count how I had to start over because of the evil that is Crystal Light. It just doesn't seem fair that I trudged along with this and it was something as simple as Crystal light holding me back preventing me from losing pounds??? That just doesn't make sense to me. I fear I'm wasting my time with this and its truly a low calorie diet that will get this weight off. At least then I could EAT, rather than having to have a small amount of full fat something or other I can have a regular amount of the lowfat/fat free version.

People say oh at 5'5 and 119 maybe you don't need to lose weight, well then why are my thighs nearly 22 inches? I used to weigh 103 pounds and comfortably mained 110 for years. So not losing any isn't the option here. I want to wear my old clothes again... its that d*mn breakup that made me gain weight now I want it off.

I hate the way ground beef feels on my tongue

Mostly, I just feel deprived. I never over ate the way I see some people do... I'm satisfied with just that one bite, THAT really does it for me but with this WOE, I can't even have that ONE bite.. so I go on feeling deprived.

I've never reached ketosis.. I've done this for 13 days.. no appetite suppression whatsoever.. I'm completely ravenous and eating foods MUCH higher in calories than what I'd normally reach for. I ate sugar free popsicles, and fruit!

And everytime I look at someone else's fitday profile, their calories are below 1000. Some people's are like 400 consistently.

You know what I really want to do? I want to eat carbs without wanting to kill myself!

Ketosis is an urban legend. Day 14. Innate thoughts and mindless rambling, please ignore my bitterness. Ketosis is an urban legend. *sigh*

I fear NeiNei (pictured left) is addicted to carbs because of her free range kibble habit.

I tell her to kick the habit whenever I see her standing at the bowl.

LOL Phoebe,,,,,at least you have your sense of humor about the cat. My cat had kittens and looks anorexic now.

First time journaling in the morning as opposed to night. I am a lot less bitter in the morning.. more optimistic about the day? Usually at night time if I journal its grumpy....
So I'm officially done with atkins. Reading the Fat Flush Plan right now, agree with it a lot more since it has holistic supplements and the like in it...gonna start the jumping on the trampoline 5 minutes a day for cleansing the lymph... I've always known about that, but I never knew it was only 5 minutes a day that benefits!
Gotta elliptical for an hour in a few.. never skip that! Couldn't go for a run today, far to humid and hot out even early.

Its supposed to break tomorrow, hopefully I can get a run in then... *crossing fingers*
