Why did you choose low carb?

Although I answered to lose weight in the poll, the real reason I chose LC is because when I follow this WOE I feel at peace with food.

I lost 55 lbs with Weight Watchers 2 yrs ago but my relationship with food had become very unhealthy. Food had become the enemy, it was something to be measured and controlled. I was still fighting tremendous cravings and had to practice constant vigilance. I was on a cycle of being vigilant, blowing it and bingeing then psyching myself up to vigilance again. Then I just got fed up and gained 16-20 lbs.

With LC I don't have cravings and I feel healthy and strong. I appreciate food as nourishing sustenance for my body. And as long as I pay attention and stick to the program, it is easier to make the choice not to abuse food when I am feeling stressed.
