So I've been doing this low-carb deal for a while now, and it has been long enough that I can tell my body is changing. Not just losing weight, I mean that when I do eat carbs, they actually don't feel great on my tummy. It's almost like I never knew how hard eating carbs is on my body until I got them out of my system.
But I've been kind of stuck as far as weight loss goes. The culprit is obvious to me. I love to snack on some delicious, crunchy and salty peanuts. I know, I know, they are so packed full of fat, calories, protein and anything else you can imagine stuffing into a little nut. They're wonderfully bad for you and I . . . MUST . . . STOP. Indeed, I must. Here's my plan of action. I'm actually just going to tell myself I'm stopping for 10 days. That's not really hard, is it? The reality is that I'm going to stop my snacking entirely for 10 days. I think in that time, I can do a little version of a detox for my body and feel super-good and little-bitty before Christmas when I get to see all the family!
10 Days! EEK! Can you imagine how close Christmas is? And I'm just utterly surrounded by junk food and delicious chocolate. But here's the low down: I've lots 20 pounds, held it steady, and I still want to lose a bit more. Is it possible to lose 5 more before Christmas? Maybe baby!
Thanks for listening. If I don't write these things down, I'll go downstairs and eat another handful of nuts without thinking. *laughs* First rule of addictions: confession. :)
