Dieting Woes

[Wendilou 180]

So I'm my 3rd month of physician supervised weight loss. I started out with a daily calorie goal of 1200, which was pretty do-able, but the weight loss was s-l-o-w. I've gone down to 1000 calories this month as my doctor initially recommended (she's tiny!). I had been reading theworldaccordingtoeggface.com and I decided to try and begin my high protein-low carb-low fat post surgery diet now for practice. I'm really struggling with it. I am definitely a carb addict. It might be my TOTM coming up, so I might be able to attribute some of my hideous cravings toward that, but I am feeling like such a failure right now (I ate tortilla chips and flan last night) I hope it gets a little bit easier after surgery. are any of you struggling like me?

YES! You are not alone. My doc doesn't believe in "diets" he says they will never work. It's a new life style we have to strive for because when the diets over the weight comes back and so far he's right I have tried weight watchers, medical weight loss, nutrisystem spend thousands of dollars and I am still over weight. I have gained all I lost. I have to learn how to eat, there is no end date. Hang in there

I always do really well eating high Protein low carb. Its hard because the first 2 weeks my cravings are through the roof, after that they die down and I don't really even think about carbs anymore. Its strange. You can do this!

I've also been trying to do this approach. I will say I have noticed that after eating really well and if I go on a carb binge, I am so exhausted that I feel like I can't move one bit!
