An END to this stagnation!

I am getting fed up of hovering, I've been yo-yoing AGAIN around the 165lb mark, so I had a day of really kicking my bum into gear, no snacking, but lots and lots of drinking! I was craving snacks so badly, I wasn't hungry but I wanted to eat eat eat! Luckily we (read I, mostly) had eaten all the chocolate and ice cream in the house so there was none left for me to snack on.

Then on Thursday I thought lets try low carb again. And so far, I've done pretty well! I'm still on the low carb, I've had the odd bit of fruit as snacks, and so far each day I have had something high carb but I would have had it along with a lot more carbs as well, so overall done pretty well. I had 3 slices of pizza on Thursday night. I was actually pretty impressed that I felt full and did not WANT to eat more, usually I may have managed 5 slices. Friday I had an ice cream after an otherwise perfect low carb day, which was actually not that bad. And today I have had 2 choc ices (which are pretty low carb considering, and came to less than the ice cream yesterday.) but other than that been eating low carb. Dinner I think I will do some chicken tonight (a fairly low carb sauce) with some cauliflower rice. I did weigh in this morning and I was 161.6 lb which I was pretty thrilled at, is definitely my lowest weight so far in this weight loss period, and for a LONG time (almost a decade). It would be pretty awesome to see the 150s on the scales on Wednesday.

I used to think that low carb diets were dangerous, but having done research on them, I think they're pretty healthy actually. The sort of foods I am cooking certainly seem more nutritious, plenty more vegetables and salads, with dairy and meat. I can't wait to try some more things. I think I will be buying cauliflowers in bulk haha :) Not sure how long I will keep this up, I'm already doing better than last time, and enjoying it more. Plus I don't think that any carb slip up is "ruining" it. Obviously the lower carb the better, but the odd carbs will not ruin everything, so fingers crossed this attitude can help :)
