Feeling like I want to throw the towel in!

[Letmegetanamechange]

I've been low carbing for the past 7-8 weeks and so far enjoying it and finding it fairly painless. I've lost 15lbs so far (still a LOT more than that left to lose) but the past few days I've been having a wobble.

Was baking a birthday cake for Dsis and when it went spectacularly wrong I ended up shoving loads of cake in my gob and licking the icing spoon (looking like a crazy loon)

Yesterday was a really stressful day and I wanted to inhale a tub of Ben and Jerry's SO badly! I resisted because if I did have the ice cream it would have made it worse, but I'm feeling so deflated right now.

I keep picking at sweet things I know I shouldn't have (I had a slither of chocolate cake yesterday whilst DP was distracted) and I know that I can eat the tiniest amount of sugar and will automatically gain weight this week. I feel like because of this I may as well say "sod it" and eat the lovely Ben and Jerry's but then I'll effectively be back to square 1!

I suppose what I'm trying to say is, how do you get your healthy eating mojo back?

I'm feeling the same today. Day 17 and 12 pound loss at last weigh in

I've gone for a bath to talk myself round but not got much low carb food in and not much money to replenish it. So I'll be forced to give in soon

That's a fantastic loss Miss!

Yep, food shop day here tomorrow so not a lot left for today. Had a burger and cheesy scrambled eggs for lunch, and another burger with salad for lunch. Probably not the healthiest option but I had ran out of eggs and salami!

I'm just getting horrible sugar cravings now, probably from drinking a bit of strawberry juice before. But this is the best I've done at losing weight for a long time, I CAN'T give up when everyone knows I'm trying to lose weight.

Why can't I be one of those people who eats whatever they want to and never gains weight?!

Burger and scrambled egg for BREAKFAST, obviously!

I don't really get low carbing. But I find the odd day off (for me it's sunday afternoons - go round for mums roast with pud!) stop sme craving crap the rest if the week when I've got that to look forwards to.
