Hey! Glad to have you back! I tend to be on again off again too. When I am able
to resist sweets and carbs, it's usually because I tell myself "you've tasted
chocolate cake before, you already know what it tastes like. You don't have to
eat it."

I just started seriously eating right again yesterday. I think it's better not
to think of it as a diet. It's just eating normal. When you get all crazy and
start eating every carb in sight, you feel awful. I can hardly get out of bed
when I start eating that way. I get bloated, my skin gets dry, and I just don't
feel good. It's when I get back to normal eating (lowcarb) that I feel like
myself again. So really it's not dieting, it's just going back to the way of
eating that makes you feel the best. Normal eating.

Since we're both just starting again, maybe we can encourage each other to stick
with it and to not go back to that crazy way of life again. :)

I...sad to say...am one of those on again off again dieters. I have not
been on this site for a long time. My weight has always stayed the
same, which I guess is a good thing. I am easily side tracked when
dieting, thinking that I am going to miss out on something. And yes I
despise the word...DIETING. But I am trying my hardest to think of this
as a lifestyle change and to get the word dieting out of my vocabulary.
I only started 3 days ago and have lost 3 pounds (water weight I know),
but it is a start. I will check in on Saturdays and participate more
with the group to try to keep my motivation going. Have a great week.
