(Gloria) said:I have ms and it's out of remission at the moment. This is WHY I'm
stupid enough to come back here. Just too much time while waiting to
walk again. I was panicy after weight gain of about 6 lbs and the legs
can't deal with any more weight. First I thought that it was just the
weight but now I'm pretty pushed back with everything. I decided I
needed to just get with the program and work on the weight NOW! I
decided to come to LC and try the LC way which I love so far. I just
'feel' like I'm attacked ALL THE TIME here.
Well, this group gets its fair share of posts from people who:
A: Say they're doing "low-carb" or "Atkins" but haven't done any research
and only have a vague idea of what low-carb actually is, from the media or
from third-hand information.
B: Say they want to do "low-carb", but they want other people to tell them
exactly what to eat and how much. You can find good advice here, but not
your own personal nutritionist. You'll have to do some reading and pick
the plan that's right for you.
C: Are full of excuses. Name an excuse for "cheating" or not exercising,
and we've seen it.
If you look at this group as having an overall, amalgamous personality, it
can be helpful and giving, but it also expects a lot from you. Sometimes
it goes overboard and gets unnecessarily nasty, but most of the time I
think the harshness mirrors the harshness of reality. If you want to
succeed at losing weight, you have to be tough, and you have to be willing
to work. Personally, I think you are.
