Status ReportOkay, all you carb addicts....post and tell us how you are doing!I've still managed to be low carb all week, but had a couple days where I WAY overate. As I told someone tonight, even LC, I can still manage to eat like a "Fat Bastard" some days.... But...in spite of it all, I lost another damn pound!!!!!!!!!

Susanne, I wish I had your self-control. I'm doing ok. Too many carbs yesterday, but it's all ok. I'm still on track. Staying away from sugar. | ||

It's all about addiction for me, friends. IF IF IF I don't feed my carb addiciton, I do pretty good. Even LC, I can eat too many carbs in LC food.
And I don't always have self-control, so to speak...but even when I'm out of control on LC, it is a WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAYYYYYY different thing than being out-of-control non-LC. On LC, I do reach a satiation point when binging. I never reached satiation when binging non-LC. Never. Believe me, it was a very scary thing. God is good.

Well I've managed to stay away from the low carb bars for a couple of days, the weight is starting to move. | ||

Good for you Dave. Luckily I have no trouble avoiding those things. Now if I could just quit dreaming about rolls!

Yes, I confess, I'm an carb addict. I'm weak. I'm miserable. I'm sick. I'm out of control, when I eat carbs.
So, how is it that some people like Bobi and Susanne have willpower, and some people (like me) sometimes do and sometimes don't? However, it took me 10 years to quit smoking after 30 years of smoking. Haven't had or craved a cigarette in 3 years. Maybe, later or sooner (hopefully), I'll be able to stay away from carbs completely. The fact that Bobi and Susanne exist provide some hope for the future for those of us who are weaker. I know that sounds melodramatic but I couldn't be any more serious. |

That sums it up, I was doing so well before, why can't I get back? I ate a ton of nuts today. Not bad, but I really wanted today to be clean. I've eaten a ton of everything today. I just want to stop or slow down so my stomach can settle.

It's easy for me...I don't like bread, potatoes, veggies, etc. I love meat, always have. So don't go by me, because I have it easy. | ||

1) I just finally got sick and tired of BEING sick and tired. I won't ever go there again and the only way that happens is to be 100% committed to LC. 2) I'm also part of a 12-step program where I have come to understand the nature of addiction. I truly have addictions to booze and carbs - uncontrollable ones. Abstinence is the only treatment for addiction. And a relationship with a Higher Power/God helps me to practice abstinence. I've always wished I could bottle what I've found and give it to others - but it's not possible. You have to find it for yourself, like I did. It's worth finding. 
Stay tuned for a different answer on a different day! But this is where I am at today.

Steve...somebody already did:
