[QUOTE="NicoleC1971, post: 2046464, member: 365308"] In my own experience, I could not bear the idea of having certain foods that I craved being banned! So I eased in and converted 1 meal at a time to low carb. If you do it all at once you will feel rubbish as your body hasn't adapted and obviously if taking insulin it would mean you had some adjusting to do with your bolus/basal regime. You are a mum to very small people and need plenty of energy but as you already know, I suspect you wont' get much energy either from going to extremes (cutting all carbs at once or the SW low fat approach) or hitting the biscuits. Knowing this is easy but actually changing is a lot harder but does get easier with practice. Getting consistent with 1 meal e.g. lunches over a week with 1 day when I allowed myself chocolate worked well for me. Scales just depress me so I avoided the judgement of the 'naughty step' and went by how I felt (energy levels, cravings, clothes fitting better?). Taking the pressure off helped but I did have to accept that getting in shape would be a slower process and I wouldn't get the thrill that rapid weight loss brings but after years of on/off dieting misery I was happy to aim for something longer term. If SW works for you because someone is holding you accountable and the weigh in isn't depressing you then you could experiment with your own tactics and just go along for the support and motivation perhaps?
