[QUOTE="ShortStuff, post: 2422334, member: 60140"] I find that when I'm eating properly low carb, it's much easier to stick to because I rarely get hungry. Add in carbs and I just want to eat! I'm motivated by the fact that I do not want to be on medication. I'm also trying to avoid medication for my high blood pressure. Though despite being 'very good ' I still don't lose much weight because I'm a vegetarian that doesn't eat eggs. So basically most of my food is vegetables and although I stuck to the low carb ones, it's not as easy as being able to eat meat & eggs. Nothing will make me eat meat & eggs again. So it is what it is. one day at a time, tell yourself that you can have 'whatever it is you really want' on your birthday or another named date and that *today* your going to eat low carb. It takes a few days fir your body to switch over and it's not uncommon to feel ****, get headaches and cravings.. you just need to drink lots of water, distract yourself, eat low carb option and get on with it, in a few days you'll be adapted and feel loads better & find it much easier. You can do this!! Then the gradual weight loss and the decreasing BG readings will give you the motivation you need [/QUOTE]
