I would love to join you in the low carb diet but I need a break down of what carbs to stay away from or limit myself to. I also heard if you cut off all carbs after 6 pm that helps too. I had a c-section 8 months ago and I'm heavier now then I was when I was prego. I cant even fit into my my jeans i wore when I was prego except for 2 stretch type jeans. Well i've worn those so much that they are starting to wear thin. I'm thinking of dieting pills only to control my eating habits again because w/ my on going 2 yr battle of divorce and my soon to be ex hubby having my son because he convinced the mediator that my newborn sons health conditions maybe to extreme for me to handle in az ( i moved from cali ) at the moment. well not even a month after i moved here it was all settled. unfortuantly my sadness and emptyness has been comforted with food and chocolate. I was never a big eater so this is hard for me cause i'm wanting to eat all the time and i never ate a lot of chocolate on on occasion like once a month maybe and now i have bowls full of hershey kisses, reeses cups, whoppers, m&m's and mini m&m's, chocolate chip cookies, oreo klondic bar. See i need help i'm miserable. it also doesnt help that my relationship w/ my bf that i have my newborn with isnt going as well as it used to. The whole divorce battle thats should have been finalized a year ago has finally taken its toll. He goes out w/ the guys to weekend flings and leaves me home w/ the baby. i dont work cause my baby was a preemie and is behind in his milestones so now i have state approved therapist coming to my home to help me out with him to try to get him back on track so i cant work. All in all i'm miserable I guess. From the outside looking it its a great relationship and everyone thinks i'm so lucky and would love to be in my shoes, yeah great baby a house that my bf pays for and all the bills i get to stay home not work and take care of baby.. ya would be great if the relationship was great w/ it. there's more to vent on but i'm afraid i guess i gotten off track of the carb diet.. sorry... but its my reason why i'm eating so much and now disappointed in my appearence and looks. I dont like what i see in the mirror and everytime i try to control my eating i'm good one day then eating tons the next.
HELP

Now I'm going for the next 30! I started a low carb diet again today...anyone want to join me? I'd love some low carb friends.
BTW, if anyone remembers, my husband and I started dieting together in october. Well my husband not only looks soooo good now BUT he has managed to completely rid himself of diabetes and high blood pressure. I am so ecstatic for him, I have been so worried about his health. He has been weight lifting and has become quite obsessed with exercising (I wish I could be more like that  ) It's amazing what 3 months and 30 pounds did for his health! |
