~m0mlette - I competently understand, almost identical situations! you can do it though! one day at a time, you will turn everything around eating this way and you will come out somewhere down the road happier, healthier, and way more in touch with who you are.
everything you said is EXACTLY my world, and i tell you carb and sugar addiction are huge. i have a friend who is a clinical nutritionist and Chiro and he was telling me that sugar is more addicting that cocaine. add to that the processed foods i am convinced have ingredients to make you eat more and its a perfect storm
AND
you can bop in your local 7-11 and get ANY and as much as you want
its self medicating for the most part. its legal, easy, cheap, tastes great and if you suffer any depression or even if you dont just look around at the US and world and you know something is happening bad
anyway, i did not stray even after gaining a pound back and only being in trace of ketosis
i test daily and weigh weekly
i know though i am up against it this time, these meds ALL slow down metabolism and ALL contribute to constipation
i called my PCP and he said TAKE X, another drug
i swear once i get in a decently healthy range i am OFF the BP, Chol, and BS meds. i cant do anything about the allergy and asthma but it is ALSO better with no wheat and how i eat, and the pain meds for the shattered knees and neck but i will get off half my meds by xmas
and i bet anything the weight comes off faster
good luck to you all. this is the LONG HAUL.
heres my 2 week summation
1) down 10 lbs for sure
2) clear headed way more than i was
3) sleeping better
4) thinking better
5) mood more stable
6) less hungry and no crash in afternoon
7) down 2 belt loops
i would love to be down say 15 lbs in 2 weeks but everything else is just as important!
Lets do this!

Hello trock,
Congratulations on your success! You're doing it right from what I've read, just be patient and it will happen. I'm currently losing weight again after being under demon sugar's spell for quite a while. Last October I was down to 358 but I started to let myself eat anything and got up to 405 by July 25 of this year. I was a walking sugar zombie. Junk food junkie, that was me. Since then I've sworn off sugar and eat a very high-fat diet, moderate protein and very few carbs from green veggies.
I'm so glad you are here and I know you will succeed, trust in the food to keep you satisfied and avoid all sweets--diet soda too--the Coke Zero was a real hurdle for me and it was keeping me from losing any weight. I was drinking more than a 12-pack a day. Since I gave it up nearly two weeks ago (with difficulty, I might add), I feel so much better and the scale is moving down. Be sure to eat plenty of fats and you won't notice any hunger. Try skipping breakfast now and then and see how you feel. Really, less food is what we want, not pagan quantities. Feast then fast, just like our ancestors did. Keep drinking tea without any sweeteners or try coffee with some good butter--it's pretty amazing. And I'm not a coffee drinker, but I am heading that way!
I can't wait to get off my own meds for BP, it's Coreg and I feel it's all that's been keeping me from the graveyard while I was overdosing on sugar. Without it my bp was 190/110. With it, it's 130/80. Still, to be free of it is a dream of mine.
WE CAN DO THIS!!!
