Monday, July 9th, Cardio & Cafe

I don't think I'm going to count the carbs
in salad greens and eggs either. I will count
them in cheeses, nuts and for everything else
& give myself 20 net carbs a day.

So far I've lost about 7 lbs. I hope it's
not ALL water! I need to get my belly fat
down. It's so hard to find tops and pants
to fit, if it fits my middle it's too big
in my bust and hips. So shopping is still
not my favorite thing to do.

Thanks for that "reset day" idea, that may
come in handy down the road!

Take care Hala,
Edie

Hate to suggest that - but I 2 of my "normal" - non WLS friends decided to have liposucction - because no matter how skinny they got - they still had the bulge.  One even had belly - skin tighten - (after a child- she got the dreaded bulge).
If you proportional otherwise - consider that - really... see what will it take and how much will that cost.
That belly bulge is a very stubborn fat - that just grow bigger and bigger..I have a "pouch" but beacuse for years and years I have been sucking my belly in (something we in Europe are made to d from were we are little) - it does not show unless I let it out (not likely and not often lol)
Good luck Edie...

You're very sweet Hala, but it's not just
a little belly bulge. I've lost 140 lbs.
total, but am still overweight by at least
70 lbs.
I stopped losing about 7 months out of surgery
so I haven't lost in a year until now. I
had no idea people who had wls have problems
with carbs. That's why I'm giving this low
carb thing a good try.
I alway appreciate your suggestions, thanks
for listening!
Where do live in Europe if you don't mind
my asking.

:D Edie

I used to live in Europe... Poland, and then Greece for 2 years,
They make you eat of a plate at a table, fork and knife every day... and sit straight and ellbows at your side, never on a table, and suck you tummy when you are a girl.. it is so normal ... It is "so in me" that when we get any meal at a table ( very few are eaten at the coffe table) I still set the tabel with forks, knifes and spoons... Even for eggs or meatloaf. ,.. but never for fish... weird, yet so common
