Lowcarbfriend

I’m just wondering.

I am looking forward to making friends and learning more about the low carb diet.

I was just wondering what everyone’s feeling is on net carbs. I try to stay away from a lot of stuff that has like 25 carbs and only 6 net carbs, but I was wondering what others think.

I jsut wnated to say thanks to all of you for your recipes, stories, and sharing of knowledge. It helps a lot to be able to relate to/share with other people who are trying the best to do right by themselves and their families. I restarted induction on 01/13/09 after going to the Dr and weighing in at 244. That is the highest that i haev been in a long long time. The thing is, I know exactly how i got that way and how to prevent it, but i have let life…. outside influences get me down and then I go off track. I am DONE… I want to be healthy and happy, and i feel that way when i eat unprocessed foods. I had a moment last night where i started feeling sorry for myself/got upset… but I didnt EAT anything. I worked through it, wathced some TV, chatted with a friend who is working in Sacremento right now… and then went to bed. YEA!! I am determined to stick with this and make it a life choice. I do not need to eat White flour or starchy things… It makes me feel like . This time around, i made a spreadsheet to track my weight loss (i’m an accountant, i like numbers) everyday. I knwo soem people don’t like to weigh every day, but its the only way i can hold myself accountable. YOu guys help so much jsut by being ehre and answerign questions and being frineds when sometimes no one else understands! Thnkas so much!!!!!!!!!!!!

I just had a plain cheeseburger from five guys and it was soso yummy.. I can’t beleive I can eat this and lose weight.. Tonight chicken fingers for dinner..

Going out with some new people over New Years, a friend of a friend said,

" I dated a girl who couldn’t drink at all…and she had a really good reason not for drinking so it was ok."

We asked why she couldn’t drink.

He said,
"Apparently she got into a wicked car accident when she was 16 which left a hole in her pancreas, and apparently you can’t really fix that, so if she drinks anything she vomits horrible green bile for hours and hours."

Frankly I thought that was pretty good as I had never heard such a valid excuse.

You probably had to be there but the way he put it all we could do was laugh for her pain.
