Hello from London!

[CurlyKim]

Just a quicky I guess, quite clearly I'm new here!

I'm currently on extended induction/OWL I guess? I did my two weeks, have moved onto the concept of OWL, ie climbing the rungs and introducing foods, but have kept my carb grams lower.

I've gone from 145lbs - 134lbs so far and my goal is 125lbs.

The main issues I'm finding with the diet so far are firstly that I've always been a calorie counter and am never sure how many I should be eating, or if it matters? An obsession with Diet Pepsi which I know should be a no-no, and a lack of vegetables and salad as carbs.

I'm also prone to an emotional over-eat every so often when I'm low, this is something I've been able to hold off all but once (got straight back on and hopefully won't happen again )

Found this website through google and have already lurked for a while and picked up some good tips and advice!

Glad you found us Curly, its a great board and many of us are emotional eaters so we understand and can help with that. Sounds like your off to a great start. Keep it up.

Welcome, CurlyKim!

I'm an emotional eater, too.

When you HAVE to munch, just stick to legal foods. I find eating meat helps more than anything and doesn't add carbs. Also gets me past wanting more sooner!

Do try to work the veggies in, though. Your body (and mind) will be a lot happier!
