Re: I don't want to throw in the towel...any boost? | | What has helped me in the past is just to have the 'just do it' attitude. Really, I keep making excuses but know I need to get back on track...I have to literally tell myself to pick a day and just get it done already, it actually works. Then I just take it a day at a time until I start to feel better about my choices, I always start off not counting anything but carbs...I eat eat eat until I'm full and even at those times that I am full and just want to eat, I eat as long as it is low carb and not processed. When I've fallen like you have I have to get through the first three days low carbing...I eat everything low carb I love, eggs, cheese sauce (cheese with heavy cream melted together) bacon, hamburger, diet jello for sweetness...I know that day four is mentally easier for me so I make the first three days as unthreatening as possible. I do not start counting induction days until I'm done with my low carb binge, but once over those first three days I can start day one of induction.
It works for me...
