Back on the Wagon

Jeff and I have been back on the Low-Carb wagon full force since Tuesday. It was about time too! I was begining to feel like such crap, and when I got on that scale and saw I was over 200 again, I about cried!! Cookies and cake don't taste that damn good! Especially with the low-carb treats that are out there. It's funny, I didn't think I would have the will power to be as strict as I was before, but once I desided, it was like a light switch. I am so glad that it's only 25 lbs this time and not the 110 it was before. I fully expect to be back where I was in 1-2 months. And there will never be a "vacation" again. This is a lifestyle, not a "diet". I don't know why we let ourselves slide back into that again...sure the regular fast food was good, sure the desserts are good, but not when I am gaining 10 lbs a month. And not feeling like exercising..which just compounds it. Nope, no more cheating, no reason to!! Ok, that's my soap box about that.

I made my appointment for my 6-week post exposure test today, it's next Thursday. Jeff said he's worried, and I can tell as he was being moody today. I am quite sure I am fine, but you always want to double check. He's coping device of thinking and planning for the worse gets to me sometimes. Granted, like he said, if you are already on the bottom in your mind, there's no where to go but up. But, I think that thinking positive (and being realistic) and maybe getting let down is better, at least that way you are happy up until that point, and if you get good news...there was no wasted energy.
