During my 2 week low carb challenge, I did a lot of thinking, and I looked at a lot of my behaviour and so on... all I can tell you is, when I see McDs I want it... as soon as the thought hit my head, I want it like nothing else. The craving becomes unbearable. But I am also someone who sabotages my own success, the LCHF from dietdoctor wasn't the success I needed it to be and so I think I kinda said 'sod' it. Yesterday I felt so low that I made the biscuits just because I could. I feel so poorly today, I am on a day off. I feel sickly and so down in myself. Im disgusted with my inability to be in control of this.
Don't be so hard on yourself @paula.nolan42 however simple it may sound the lifestyle changes needed and following a strict diet isn't easy. Maybe just eat less carbs, rather than going full on. I found tracking them on My Fitness Pal helped me, you find out the carb content of everything easier. I've found my own treats now - lots of cheese with low carb biscuits and a glass of red wine! I'm also going to start making some cakes, @ewelina has a great blog.
Best of luck, it's good to have a moan - I did it last week when I feel off the wagon!
