I'm my own worst enemy. After several good weeks and BG approx 5.5 I fell off the carb wagon. And when I fall I fall hard.
I'm normally on lchf and wondering how long it will take to purge myself again.
I've lost 3 stone in 3 months, weight training hard and actually loving the lchf diet so why do I give in to temptation. It gets me down and mad.

I just feel like I'm letting myself and my daughter down whenever I fall off the carb wagon. When I see all the success stories on here I so want to be part of it then I fall off again

Diet drinks - the artificial sweeteners taste vile.
Having to forswear foods I have loved all my life.
Trying to find low carb meals when eating out.
Have you tried fasting?
Perhaps One Meal A Day (OMAD)?
Having just finished chasing after the wagon to climb back on I find that after a bit the cravings go away, mostly.
I am 6 foot and have just managed to creep under 12 stone again.

Fun arithmetic; if your extra 3 inches over me weighs 4 stone then in theory you should weigh (27 * 4) stone at 4 stone for every 3 inches.

I think you may be used to carrying a lot of extra weight and not sure you can lose it. I know when I went down from 14 stone 7 pounds to 12 stone everyone was worried because they thought I was wasting away to a pale thin shadow. Body image (your own and how other see you) can be very confusing.

There is no wagon. There’s only now. Everything that went before is just a memory. Stay calm and carry on.

You realise your true potential by hooking that wagon (yee-haw) to something larger than life. Your true potential - that's what counts.

I drink cream when I want a treat. It's got its own sweetness and feels as satisfying as icecream really. I'm finding my life long sweet tooth is duller when I eat low carb high fat. I started reintroducing an extra slice of sourdough bread and the cravings come flooding back fast. So I go back to the fats.

Thanks everyone for the replies, today is a new day, I'm keeping calm and carrying on
You can do this, I believe in you and the wagon ain't so quick that it'll lose you at a bump in the road :joyful:
