Do you have more discipline...

I'm curious about those who have been successful so far with
low-carbing. Do you find that other aspects of your life
have also been easier to discipline? For instance, I've
been LCing now for about a year. During that time, I have
been able to better discipline other things as well, such as
exercise and even housekeeping (yuck!). Has this held true
with anyone else?

Yes, I wash dishes MUCH more often :-)

Yes

I'm more disciplined with my work, with my sewing, with housework, with
bills.... it has spread to lots of me. I won't say that I am more
disciplined with exercise, because I did lots of that before LC. Actually,
during the initial months of my fast weight loss... I became more lax than
ever about exercise because I was losing so well I felt I could get away
with being lazy. 🙂

Sometimes I feel like low carb is the ONLY discipline I really have. I
guess exercising has been easier, though.

Not really. I go through phases where I pay attention to things, then
relax and let things go. This year has been no more or less in that
respect. Paid much less attention to gardening, about the same to the
house, more attention to work and studying, a lot of attention to
LCing in the first 5-6 months, but all summer to now just
free-wheeling it. Not counting at all, just daily weighing to keep my
eye on things.

I guess all that extra energy and time that we used to use
stuffing ourselves has to be used to do something : )
