You need to make the mental shift. Looking at low carb as a deprivation is a sure way to fail. You need to start telling yourself in your head (Literally telling yourself) I am not depriving myself of anything. I can choose to have it some other time but today I AM CHOOSING TO MAKE MY LIFE BETTER AND EAT HEALTHY. Unless you see this WOE as a positive thing there is no way you will stick to it. You are giving yourself permission by having a pity party every day because "poor me can't have this" ___.
Whereas an empowered positive you would be saying "By choosing low carb I can have cream and cheese and butter and I am eating healthy and will look the way I have always dream I would look." Unless you believe what you are doing is a PLUS in your life you will continue to cave. If you say it enough to make it one day, then the next day you will have that first success behind you and you will know a clean day is possible. No one can do this for you.If a twinkie is more important than your life, so be it. And the deprivation is only temporary. If you get through Induction you WILL start adding back some of the things you miss, albeit in small quantities and over a periiod of time so it is just a temporary foregoing of many of these foods.
