Lost Again, yea, not many of us 'are safe' ever. I mean we do get more firm in not going off plan, the longer we change our lives on a daily basis and cement in our brain that we are eating different for real reasons and want to do just that, but at some point, every meal is a choice. That is alot of choice days in our lives LOL
No use boohoo'ing over it. Just keep on going. Eventually if one wants change bad enough we start to literally change our thinking from should I just eat that and start again? to maybe, I am not eating that, I really don't wanna start this all over again, ya know. We become more positive to stay on plan vs so easy to dump our plan.
I don't know. It took me a good amt of time to change my mindset about my food and did I really want to put in the work to do this---long term. Short term we can all lose lbs, key to the whole darn thing is long term lifestyle changes. For me I had to focus on what it takes for long term and put those thoughts in my brain. Long term results, only way one to hold them, stay on the darn eating plan LOL There ain't no magic bullet for any of us. Staying on plan is key. Simple as that. But yea, it is a hard mental walk thru all this. Big change doesn't come easy for most of us.
E39, for me the best part of carnivore was I can eat all I want. There is no limit. I eat til full, as much as I want in a day and eventually my body got healthier and it began to not want food all the time. I set myself into a very natural eating rythym which was nice.
I think that is what saved me in the end. On ZC I can eat all I want. Any time I want. Never denied my food ever. There is no count this or that and no, should I eat that meat? Nope. I think that is the freedom I needed to 'be ok on an eating plan' too ya know in that I was allowed food, all I wanted. I never was on an eating plan that let me eat all I wanted
I liked it
So for me ZC suited my personality too in what it takes for me to be long term and 'ok in the brain' on my plan.
I think that is important we all feel good on plan. We don't fight our plans. We don't feel trapped by our eating plans. Those just aren't sustainable long term. But when one hits a plan that works for them, grab on and hold on is all we can do
for me I bounced 50 lbs on and off so many times, it was either find a way to long term do this change or give up. I never gave up
As long as we keep trying to find that plan that fits us best and live with it, then we do ok!! We will all do ok!!
