Best of luck in getting back on track - or maybe flipping the switch to change onto another track - in the end, it doesn't matter which track you're on as long as you're moving in the right direction towards the desired destination!<br /><br />This reminds me that I need to pull out the copy of "The Carb Lover's Diet" that I bought...well probably a year or more ago and haven't even cracked open. I don't think I could deal with South Beach - I'm a total carb hound.denisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14873046572246069891noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4520412246310459623.post-22863208642449521492012-02-29T09:09:43.377-05:002012-02-29T09:09:43.377-05:00Yep, been there done that.

As soon as I try to institute a food restriction, I become obsessed.<br /><br />My success with the paleo eating is probably due to trying the 30-day trial. I forget what they call it exactly, but the idea is that if you can gird your loins and suck it up for a month, you'll find that you actually feel better and no longer crave sugars and empty carbs.<br /><br />It worked great for me, I felt better in much less than a month, and the next thing I knew MONTHS had gone by and I didn't feel restricted for a moment. But it's still difficult when I have to eat someone else's food, because like your governor's meal, it's all starchy carbs. I don't want to be a jerk to my friends when they've gone to the trouble of preparing food, but too many episodes like that and I feel completely off track.<br /><br />That's one way blogging helps me, when I read back and see what REALLY happened, I'll find that I've been off plan for all of a day and a half, and not the weeks that it seems inside my head.<br /><br />Good luck finding your balance - apparently you and I don't get to coast through anything :)gingerzingihttp://gingerzingi.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4520412246310459623.post-68175776338459089882012-02-29T08:42:10.336-05:002012-02-29T08:42:10.336-05:00During my son's illness I dropped 25 lbs, seem...During my son's illness I dropped 25 lbs, seemingly overnight. I went from wearing a size 12 to a size 4. <br />I wonder why it is so easy to lose lots of weight when under extreme stress, but the minute things calm down, those lbs start to creep up one by one.<br />That's what is happening to me now. I make a daily promise, to drink more water, cut out the white, and exercise every day. At the end of the day, I make the same promise for tomorrow. Frustrating. <br /><br />Perhaps it is time for you to change things up. But not time for you to give up!lyndagracehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13530605081989558341noreply@blogger.com
