My first post on this board was myself questioning how I let myself fall back into my old way of eating. I have actually lost 50+ lbs twice only to regain all the weight. My first "fall" occurred because I believed the low carb lifestyle was causing kidney stones. I believe my second fall occurred for two reasons. The first being the ease I was losing the weight. I was averaging 15 lbs/month eating between 30-40 carbs a day. I think the knowledge that I could "cheat" on a weekend and still manage to lose weight over the week made small temptations easier to accept. Soon weekend "cheats" turned to week cheats, and so on. I also stopped tracking my progress (or regression) My self image was always of my new thinner version, or at least close to it. Until one day my clothes started to not fit anymore, and when I did get on the scale I can still remember the sense of bewilderment that I once again weighed so much.
