Hello everyone! I am back and More motivated then ever this time trying low carbs instead of calorie counting. While I was losing on counting my cals for me it gave me too much wiggle room and i ended up spirling
. I've stuck to low carb for two weeks so far and I feel wonderful!
The reason I am starting this thread is to share a small little victory. After 5 years of not weighing myself I finally did it and I feel like this will encourage me more than ever now that I finally know where i stand and how much exactly I have to lose. So here I am a 25 year old female 5 9' 1/2 starting at about 220. Now I didn't weigh myself at the begging of the low carb thing I only weighed myself last week so I started my tracker at 230 even tho that may be a lie. Anyways I am kind of pleased to see that I only put on 20 pounds in the last 5 years because I was fearing A LOT more considering my eating and drinking habbits (esp in the last 2 years).
Ok now the frustrating thing.... I work in a resturant and I am always being tempted with FOOD but i've done really well and havent touched a thing i am not supposed to, but when staff meal comes and they make sauteed chicken with mashed potatos some demi glace and mushrooms ussually and sauteed vegitables. I always ask them to not flour my chicken and to not give me mashed potatos, and since they are my buddies I figured it's not a big deal...but they ALWAYS flour my chicken everytime. Or they tell me a little bit of flour isnt going to kill me. So last night the girl who works on the line was making dinner so I asked her if there was any flour or sugar in the sauce and she told me no, then got all snippy and said ...."you know if you don't excerisize every single day this diet isn't going to work...."...
I felt so insulted!, just because they work in a kitchen they think they are all the great dieticians. Anyways I felt put down for like 5 seconds then I felt more motivated than ever....AND I weighed myself again this morning....Lost 6 pounds this week! 214! Take that kitchen monsters.
