Been playing with low carb/no carb diets and failing miserably. Back up again. Waay up. Was it worth it? Ultimately, no.
My weakness is still snacking- I do it out of anxiety and boredom. I homeschool a 6yr old and 4 yr old and stressful is putting it lightly! It is worth it, but a very challenging job.
Start weight: uhhmm.. I was 246 at the dr's office. If I could get to and stay at 199 at this point I would be thrilled to say the least. I've been over 200 for 14 years now.
I first tried NoS in 2004 and was successful, getting down to 206 at one point.
Anyway, food log starting today:
B: 4 chicken wings, banana, coffee with half n half and whipped cream (no sugar, just whipped cream) topping
L: tuna salad in a pepper, pretzels and an apple. All fit nicely on my plate.
Probably another coffee
I found it reeeeally hard to not snack between meals. I was good at that habit before, I'll get there again. Also, not going to go too crazy on S days, unelss it's a special occassion, no need to snack or have seconds. (and btw, the no seconds rule has stuck with me really well). Having a delish, really special dessert is special enough for me on S days I think.
I believe this weekend I'll make apple crisp

I am still pretty much gluten free, although bloodwork last month showed I hve no allergies (food), no celiac, and the cholestorol and everything looks great, so besides my obesity, I am the very picture of health LOL!
So goals for me this week: Stick to 3 meals on N days (no I wil not die of hunger, its ok to be hungry soemtimes and it is just a feeling, nothing more). Do NOT eat out of anxiety!
Will post more updates on meals as they come.
ETA: I forgot to mention I do like the concept of low carb meals. When done correctly, hunger is pretty much eliminated. Hunger can be ignored but it grates at you and then sooner or later I binge. I'll be low carbing/noSing as much as possible.
I hve GOT to get this under control. I hate how it's consuming my life day after day, month after month, year after year
