New Pic-Diet going well

Hi, folks! I mentioned my carb/sugar detox last week. It went pretty well - the first couple days were pretty bad, but it got better. And my sugar cravings went way down. I decided to allow myself a "cheat" day, since eating all protein and veggies can be pretty boring. Friday was the day, and I ate a piece of chocolate cake, a handful of M&M's, some bread and potato with dinner, and had a glass of wine, along with other regular food. It was a little tough to get back on track yesterday, but I did. It helped my motivation that my scale went from 190 last weekend to 184 Friday morning. I'm feeling like I can stick this out. My goal is to get back to between 170-175 and stay there. My lowest post-WLS weight was 160, but everybody said I looked too thin then, and I agree. My face looked awful at that weight. Speaking of faces, I posted a new picture of myself. This was taken at Christmas-time this year. I'm really computer illiterate, but am learning. Someone else posted my original picture for me, and I did this one all by myself! I'm so proud - LOL! Have a great day, everyone!

I love your new pic!!!!! I'm glad that things got better for you! It's just getting thru the first few days that is REALLY hard, but hey, you dropped 6LBS! That's fantastic!!!!!! Hope this week goes well for you!!! Tracy

Thanks a lot Tracy for the nice words of support and encouragement! You are such a great presence on this board, and I appreciate that you try to "touch base" with as many posters as you can. It's good to know there are grads like you out there! Have a great day, Carlita
