I have fallen off the wagon and been kicked by the horses more times than I can remember now.

I struggle every time to get back on and have now named the first week of low carb as the 'grieving week.' I'm grieving for the carbs and junk food I can't eat, even though I know they really aren't good for me.

My husband lives on junk food, but can still drop weight just by cutting out one of his numerous snacks. I struggle to lose even though I'm doing intermittent fasting in ketosis! Eating even moderate carb puts weight on me.

So yes, i feel your pain and sadness. I'm trying to accept that carbs are poison to me and I should avoid them forever but it's hard. Wishing you luck. X
