BIWI thank you for always being here 🌷
Hi friends old & new 😊
(Sorry, long post, feel free to scroll on past!!)
I have been being a Carby Twat 
. I’m
a T2 diabetic, so my blood sugars & blood pressure are sky high again. I need to get them under control before my next appointment or my doctor is going to lock me in the surgery until I’m prepared to take meds. I’m not, so I need to low carb.
It’s not helping that I can barely walk at the moment, I’m off to the hospital today for an X-ray. I HAD been doing well on the walking side of things and I’m really missing it.
I’m not bothering with the spreadsheet as it wants me to do stuff with google that I don’t want to do and I don’t need to be on it.
My main motivation should be my blood sugars & blood pressure returning to normal range. However, it’s really not being pressured to take medication, my (diabetes related) candida fucking off to the far side of fuck, not having to get up to wee in the night (diabetes related) and just generally feeling less like shit.
They’re all improved by weight loss as much as by not eating carbs.
Bootcamp fixed ALL of that when I first did it & I maintained it for a good while. However, I fall slip off the wagon because I find it very difficult to low carb as a vegetarian, who doesn’t eat eggs and finds eating dairy stalls me. I find it hard to get enough fat & protein and not to get too many carbs from veg 🙇🏻♀️ I get VERY bored with the few things I can eat at home & eating out is a nightmare.
I believe in this WOE so much that I considered trying to include meat and fish in my diet, but after 30 years as a vegetarian (part of that vegan) I just couldn’t - morally or physically.
I started yesterday
B: Coffee with a small amount of hot milk (no cream in the house, can’t drink it black, need coffee!). No food, but I was still deciding if I was doing BC or not
L: Cauldron marinated tofu pieces & a lot of broccoli well fried in butter, olive oil & basil infused olive oil.
D: Large salad (rocket, spinach, cucumber, radishes, green pepper, tomato, a small amount of carrot and taifun basil infused tofu. With Hellman’s VEGAN mayo (3.9 per 100g) and a very small amount of blue cheese.
No snacks.
W: Only 1.5l. Ironic really as I find it hard to drink my 3-4 litre when I’m low carbing, but drink that easily when I’m not 🙇🏻♀️ It’s a massively important part of this WOE and losing weight though, so I need to do better.
Dinner was very nice, but I ‘needed’ a ‘dry’ crunch and I could not settle so I had some macadamias (permitted for vegetarians). I try not to eat nuts the first two weeks, but it was either that or crisps/crackers.
It was a horrible day. I spent the whole day arguing with myself and making excuses not to do it, not to join in the thread and generally just being bloody pathetic. But here I am, Day 2. Joining the thread and TRYING to stay on this bloody wagon!!
