@comfortablyfrumpy

one small breach is pretty good in 3 months. Firmly back on it now

To a long term bootcamper, this bit really does seem to resonate as the key to success. I've tended to eat perfectly for a while, whether days, weeks or months and then, the minute I have a breach, fall face down into all the starchy carbs.

Telling myself " I'll just have one of those then get back on the waggon. "

In some cases, it's taken years to get me back to it. No sensible reason why that should be. When I am eating low carb, so long as I am eating all the veg, I just feel so much better all round.

This time round, I have once or twice eating something off plan and then stopped, before entirely satisfying my appetite for whatever it was. Just have one then get right back to it.

And it's worked so far since January.

Irritatingly, that's exactly what my mother, who appeared to be effortlessly slim recommended. I'm afraid I didn't have it in my to acknowledge that her advice was good. Until now.

  1. averywittyusername .. can I add myself to the list without copying and pasting? I can't seem to do it on my phone without mucking it up terribly!

I'm looking forward to the next one and delighted to report I'm maintaining with a low carb approach to life. I need the structure and focus of bootcamp to lose just a few more lbs.

averywittyusername · 20/07/2022 07:44

Agreed, @FinallyHere .. what I focus on is all the good things that I can eat without triggering a fall off a carb cliff edge. I have been maintaining by taking a gluten - free approach and acknowledging that certain foods, while lovely, make me feel crappy bagels, I'm looking at you and I'll choose to eat in a way which improves my health. And when brie is on the menu, who can argue with that? Grin

Chocasaurus · 20/07/2022 20:35

Just doing the meal plan for next week so we can do the online shop, looking forward to getting started as I desperately need to curtail the sugar, go back to GF (without replacement foods) and hopefully shift some lbs in the process.

Also, what has happened to numbers 40-43 on the list? Its bugging the perfectionist in me 😆

FinallyHere · 20/07/2022 21:38

Good spot @Chocasaurus

I've checked back and confirm that those numbers were not claimed. Our 'system' ie cut and paste into the sp can easily accommodate gaps in the range, I was glad to confirm I hadn't chopped anyone out. 😁
