Ok Gang,
I've started and stopped so often I'm
myself all the time with my weight. I KNOW what to do. I KNOW how to do it. I WANT to do it because I feel fabulous about myself when I'm working out, losing weight everyday and eating better. I've successfully lost 40lbs on this WOE and I felt like a new person. I got to buy the smaller clothes and go out feeling like the 'me' inside was starting to show on the outside.
So, here's the struggle. I wake up in the morning and I think, "Ok Nicole eat your two eggs and start your low carb day right" then by 11am I feel like I want to sit down and cry because its almost lunch time and I have to restrict myself from eating anything I want to just eating low carb. I spiral into this feeling of total deprivation. I almost feel like I'm being punished or in jail. Its the strangest feeling. I get so sad I seriously want to cry. I keep telling myself that I'm not being deprived, but I can't shake the feeling that I'm not "free" and I hate it! Its not that I have a craving for a certain food and get upset that I can't have THAT food. Its that I have to limit myself to one category of food (low carb)
Help me! Help me! Does anyone else battle this feeling? It just seems so ridiculous! But I know it is the thing standing in my way of any long term success.
