[QUOTE="JoKalsbeek, post: 2439880, member: 401801"] It's a phase. Snoddy's right, you're going through stages of grief here. And oooh yeah, been there, done that.... And sometimes I still get recalcitrant, though that's just a blip and doesn't happen more than once or twice a year for 5 minutes. (Just about long enough to eat something I'll regret, haha) Knowing what you should be doing, when you just want to go back to what you were used to, well... That's all fine and dandy, but you have emotional scars to deal with as well: a diagnosis is traumatic and you have to work through that. As if switching your diet around isn't enough on your proverbial plate. What helps? Time. Give yourself some to process all this. And finding stuff you really enjoy eating that still fits with low carb. Be it hard cheeses, or coffee with unsweetened whipped cream, find things that are [I]decadent[/I] and that make you feel like you're breaking the rules. (After all, there's the anti-fat doctrine you can absolutely kick to the curb now, as fat's your friend!). You'll get through this. But right now it's perfectly fine to be really, seriously angry about the hand you've been dealt. I know I was. And most of us were. It gets better though. It does. [/QUOTE]
