Maybe 10 years from now I will be there, but 10 months in I guess I'm still mourning those losses I guess. I read about some of the alternatives using coconut flour or whatever but my word those things are expensive! So, I don't try them because I don't want to chance not liking it and having blown that much money on something, plus money is just right anyway. So the whole food issue is an issue everywhere. I hate buying food because it'd be so much cheaper to eat a bowl of cereal and Bologna sandwich right now. But obviously I can't have those things.

I do understand, I think about 6months - a year in, I remember realising that I couldnt ever eat cakes, biscuits, chocolate again and I almost cried. I didnt. I went a good 7 years before I thought I could handle the odd bad carb here and there - er..... I put on 28lbs and spiraled out of control with it. So I stopped. I went back to strict induction and lost it all again. Was it worth it??? No, it made me miserable and all my old aches and pains came flooding back. So I knew then that I had to stick with HFLC forever. I occasionally have an atkins bar as a treat - but its not really a treat, it just two minutes of eating something that is of no use to me lol!! It certainly doesnt make my life complete
There are lots of wonderful low carb dishes around, I dont bother cos....... I'm too lazy lol, but they're not expensive and you can share with the family. My lot eat high carb junk, so I'm on my own when it comes to food. But I'm fine with that, I pick out what I can eat, or I add carbs for them
