Eating Healthy!

I have tried many diets (i.e. Special K diet, Atkins, Ideal Protein, Calorie Counting, etc) & what I have found is that the carbs are my downfall! I love them & they love to stay on my derriere!  I know I need to say a fond farewell, tomorrow I begin the low carb lifestyle again.  I have done it before so I am pretty versed in what I can & can't have & with the popularity of that lifestyle its easy to find products.  The difference this time is I'm not going to go on "I'm on a diet mode" which in my case means looking at every food I can't have & looking at it longingly & saying bye I CANT have you anymore EVER again.  WRONG! I am telling myself I am not going to have you today.  If it something like a special occasion or something I REALLY want I will have 3 bites.  They say that after 3 bites you are satisfied & the craving is then gone so this is the philosophy I am going to try as well.  Though in the next 2 weeks I am going to make an effort to be pretty good as last time I started the low carb lifestyle I lost 6lbs in the first 2 weeks & my goal is to beat that!  It is said you can loose up to 15lbs in the first 2 weeks of a low carb lifestyle (20g of net carbs per day) & I want as many lbs off as I can get!! I know people say when you loose weight doing low carb eating, as soon as you stop you gain it all back but I lost 15 lbs 5 months ago by doing it & I have been 'not dieting' (but still making semi-healthy choices) & have not gained a pound back in fact have lost more! So if I were able to achieve even the 6 lbs I lost last time, in the first 2 weeks, I would be seeing a number on the scale that I haven't seen in a VERY long time! Which of course thrills me to no end to think of! I can do it! I can do it! I am the little engine that could & I will do this! Writing this blog will hold me accountable to myself & others to make this happen! I can't wait to take this journey & to see the woman I will become in the following months with my new take charge attitude! The possibilities are endless!!
*I will be weighing myself in the morning for my Day 1 weight & from there we will track the next 2 weeks!
