Hi everyone!
My name is Lexi. I'm 26 years old and started a low carb WOE about 2 weeks ago. Diabetes and high blood pressure run in my family, so I'm doing this not only to drop some weight, but for my overall health as well. I'm not following any particular eating plan right now. I just keep my carb intake under 50g a day (usually around 25-35g) and try to cook as much as possible, with the occasional prepackaged Atkins bar or lettuce wrapped cheeseburger from a fast food joint on the go. I don't notice a huge difference in how I feel yet, other than the fact that I'm less hungry than usual. I don't feel like eating everything in sight. I also feel like I'm starting to sleep better, although I've been getting headaches this week during the afternoon. All in all, I'm happy that I've been able to manage my hunger (so far).
I haven't weighed myself, but I'm guessing my weight is right around 200lbs. I'm 5'5". I try not to utilize the scale because I have a history of disordered eating and I find it to be a trigger for me. I'm trying to be healthier, not just be skinny, so I'm focusing less on the numbers and more on how I feel. I'm hoping the weight loss will just fall into place.
I look forward to getting to know you all and I hope to adopt this WOE as a lifetime health milestone. If any of you ever need anything, please feel free to reach out to me. I promise I'm approachable most days.
