Another thing that strikes home from reading this thread is that I'm still afraid this low carb success bubble is going to burst somewhere down the road. On the one hand, I've never been so sure, but can I really keep it up for life?


I know exactly what you're talking about because I've thought the same thing.

As I continued to low-carb, through thick and thin, the thought disappeared and I didn't even notice it. I think we forget how horrible we use to feel before low-carbing. I look at pictures of my former self now and remember how I felt. Out of control sugar eating, aching knees, heart palpitations, pre-diabetic symptoms, high blood pressure, erratic mood swings and really FAT! Do I really wnat to live that life again?

Make low-carbing your "safety net". You can free fall but always choose to land in the net.
