Entering the Danger Zone of Giving up

Aug 17, 2014

I've done it before - yo yo up and down the scale.  3 months seems to be my "danger zone" for getting bored or lazy with whatever plan I'm on.  It starts with extra snacks, little bites of sugary carbs and before you know it, there's a pizza in my shopping cart with M&Ms for a chaser.

But the scale today was a nice pick-me-up; 329.  I haven't seen that number in probably 3 years, just as Weight Watchers was becoming boring.  Today it seems like 320, then 310, even 300 are reachable even. And I'm NOT BORED with the low-carb plan.  

And that's the big ah-ha of my morning.  Simply staying away from sugar and carbs have made all the difference.  I have found substitutes in low-carb snacks and I don't feel deprived. I don't feel the ups/downs of carb/insulin swings.  I have even eaten out a few times and made good choices.

Wow - who the heck just wrote that?  Oh yeah, the healthier me.
