Today:
Cals- 1438
F-43%
P-49%
C-8%

Up a pound today, this seems to be the trend the last few days after seeing a new low I will bounce back up a bit, and then down even lower the next day.

jeaniem · 01-21-2013, 03:34 PM

Blew it today Stressed out, Dr. appt today, BP was high and had a fast pulse. Also, Dr. wants me to get some spots on my hand checked by the dermatologist. Also, debating whether I want to make a court appearance with my son tomorrow or not.

shelby'snana · 01-21-2013, 03:53 PM

sorry Jeanie . (hugs)

jeaniem · 01-22-2013, 05:19 PM

I love my family but sometimes I just wish my happiness wasn't so closely tied to theirs. I want to run, but no matter where you go there you are.

Garden · 01-24-2013, 05:46 AM

Know the feeling Jeanie

. I just told my husband the other day that I was seriously tired of waiting on everyone else! That's what I feel like sometimes....a waitress....trying to make sure everything is done and everyone is happy....and if you don't do it they look at you like "what's wrong with her!"

shelby'snana · 01-24-2013, 02:31 PM

Today I agree totally........DH and I got mad at each other......made me want to EAT !!! But I had an atkins bar instead.........;(

jeaniem · 02-15-2013, 03:57 PM

WTH am I doing... just saying. I don't like me right now and am feeling horrible about knowingly risking my health eating so horribly, but feel powerless to stop it.

jeaniem · 05-22-2013, 03:35 PM

just weary of all this, nothing works.

Dear Jeanie

Don't give up! Forget about yesterday and try to do better today. I know it is not easy, but we have to keep on trying. You can do this, Jeanie!!!

I realize that eating wrong kinds of carbs is a culprit in my binging. Identifying the trigger foods is the key, I think. I also know that I can't go VLC for too long. I am now counting net carbs and following The New Atkins for a New You book. I want to know which foods cause the issues. That's why I am doing it all from scratch, adding new food a week and taking notes.

Don't give up Jeanie. I know you can do it!!!!!!

No I can't do it anymore. Just so disgusted with myself.

Garden · 05-25-2013, 06:04 AM

Jeanie !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! What's going on girly ?????????????????????

jeaniem · 05-25-2013, 07:59 AM

Hi Susan
Just feeling a little blah about my weight loss efforts.

Garden · 05-27-2013, 06:14 AM

I know what you mean! My efforts have been very bad over this long weekend. I'll get back in gear tomorrow when life returns to the regular routine! I will assume "the position" so you can "kick me in the butt"

!!!
I'm my own worst enemy !!!

jeaniem · 06-08-2013, 08:17 AM

Had a scare yesterday. I was having chest tightness, my pulse rate was 100 and bp of 145/95. I took an aspirin and waited it out thankfully I felt better after a while. I need to find a quick read for my husband that convinces him that LC is a healthy way to eat, while all of this was going on his first thought was that my high fat diet was making me ill.

tobelowcarber · 06-08-2013, 08:52 AM

Oh my goodness, Jeanie. That sounds scary!!!! Hope you are OK now

p.s I can't send you PM

jeaniem · 06-17-2013, 05:38 PM

There now I feel better.

jeaniem · 06-18-2013, 11:49 AM

I have decided I am going to do a CAD max of one hour eat whatever I want meal every week or so. I ate some ice cream, cake and a couple of choc. covered graham crackers last night and woke up to only a .6 gain (I know some people say the gain comes the second day, but I know for me if there is a gain it is immediate). After fasting most of the day and drinking lots of lemon water I am back to the weight I was before the carbs, so I expect that I should be down tomorrow. Also I feel great exercised and not all depressed and anxious like I was in the days leading up to the carb fest.Now I know this would not work for me if I did it more often, I only plan to do this when the cravings become overwhelming as I know for me that once those thoughts and cravings kick in that eventually I will give in anyway. This feels like I am at least eating in a more planned controlled fashion. Ketosis and very low carb don't stop the binges anyway.

tobelowcarber · 06-18-2013, 11:57 AM

Jeanie-hope this new plan works great for you! Your fasting all day sounds almost like JUDDD or IF.

jeaniem · 06-18-2013, 12:58 PM

Thanks Marika. The fast (22 hrs. so far) is not intentional I just haven't gotten hungry yet. It is weird how sometimes eating carbs makes me ravenous while at other times it keeps me full for a long time. Funny thing is I always know when things are getting shaky as I will find that a high fat meal doesn't satisfy me or that I can't even face the thought of a low carb meal.

jeaniem · 06-19-2013, 10:13 AM

Down .4, lower than the weight I was at before the carbs. I am no longer going to fight so hard to not have some carbs when I really want them, I will allow the one hr. thing once a week if I need to but hopefully will be able to go longer periods without them. I definitely see a pattern in my way of eating and the thoughts and cravings that precede the binges, so rather than binge and binge some more I will try a more controlled planned approach.
