We've had a breakthrough!!

This morning my husband, Curt, came in to say goodbye and I told him how
grateful I am that he takes all those meds after day to stay here on earth
with us. He said "yeah, but they're making me fat" and I told him that he
should go low carb with me. It would be soooo much easier to do if all his
[censored] wasn't here all the time. I told him Cheese, Meat, Salads and green
veggies (he loves all these things) gotta get rid of the chips and dip,
apple turnovers, candy bars, Mountain dew, sugar in the coffee, I think he
is going to do it. I am going to approach him about it tonight.

Excellent! I think focusing on the things people *like* to eat makes this
woe appealing for people who would otherwise see this a deprivation.

as far as me, I went to a Vikings/Packers party last night (we were
robbed!!!) so I did have some vodka. I had fairly high carbs (party at work
before the party yesterday afternoon) but I kept my calories below 1300 so I
am ok with that. I do believe that calories matter and keeping carbs low
help with over-eating. no party today so I expect to keep my net carbs ~30.

Good for you! I know it's been hard for you (ok, everyone look up
meiosis), but I really admire how you keep struggling to stay on course.

Hey you're doing good! Keeping your calories below 1300? That's excellent.
I can never manage that!!!

Gee...ya think? Whatever you have in the house you will eat. It's as
simple as that. Get rid of the [censored] and you won't eat it.

May be true for you but not everyone. I have rice and potatoes in my house
for my SO and never are tempted by them. He keeps orange juice and fruit
around and sometimes buys cookies--even my favorite white chocolate
macadamias. I am never tempted. The trick is to have LC treats on hand to
keep you from feeling deprived.

Almost the same in here. Parents bought 2 packets of 1 ltr orange juice when
they visited me back in September. They are still sitting in a corner although
I ate all the hot cross buns they bought but that's it. Whoooops.
