I started OWL and lost it....

[Amsexy]

Hi folks. I am desperately trying to get back on track here. I got carbolicious and then some on OWL. I am back to induction because I was depressed and used sugar and carbs to soothe myself. So now I am scrammbling to get back on track, the last four days have been yucky but I am here now, and this is home for the love and support needed to win. Thats all.

i know how you feel. don't worry. come to the forum more often. we support you.

Sorry you are feeling badly. I know exactly how you feel!

I thougt when going on owl I could eat whatever was in my rungs as long as I didn't go over my carb allowance. WRONG! I have now found that I cannot go over 25 carbs daily without stalling!
I might end up right back on induction with you!


Good luck we'll be pulling for ya!

Yep, I find I go into carb addict mode of 22 carbs or so, it is so much safer for me to keep to the basics for now. My chemistry requires that I keep my gut clean if you know what I mean. Too much yeast and sugar in my tummy equals a **** of a sugar hound in me, and I can't live like that.
I find freedom and peace of mind, surrendering to the fact that I just don't do sugar and starches well and it's okay. A little biscotti with my 1/2 a cup of decaf and I am good. Thanks for the good feedback!

Yea, fluctuations in weight are no fun. I find that excercise helps.

Two thumbs up to that!

REALLY knowing that makes all the difference for me. It might be "ok" for someone else to eat that double fudge, sugar laden brownie or go to Greggs for an Apple Cream Turnover or have insane portions of bread and potatoes... but I'm not that person... and that IS ok... and I've got to take care of me because at the the end of the day, no one else is living in my skin.

Hang in there. I've found that once all of my emotional crutches were gone (cigarettes, sugar, tons of carbs) that I was a wrecked zone emotionally. However, the fog did indeed lift. My emotions are much calmer now and I don't seem as depressed by half as I once was.

Thank you Pam112 I needed that!
