[QUOTE="Scent of Cedar *, post: 657413, member: 17461"] Carbs and sugar set up a circle: Insulin release / sugar or carb craving. I don't know whether you are doing low fat, but if you are, that may be a mistake. My sister was never heavy, but she carried what excess weight she did have on her hips. She never could change that, no matter what she did. So, she began eating only meat. Fat was okay. Occasional salads and eventually, lots of salad of every kind, but no fruit. And she lost that weight. Sausage and eggs, roast or fried or broiled or baked fish or poultry or pork or beef: no breading. No carbs. After a time, there was no craving for carbs or for sugary things like Snickers. I have a sweet tooth. And when I eat those things that are so delicious, I want more, and I get so hungry for them. That includes pasta. I like it that you recognize that this place in your plan of self reclamation and self definition is a plateau. Stay steady, California. You are doing so well. You are doing something so hard ~ to go without all those things you once turned to for comfort. Bless yourself for the hardness and for sticking with it. I will say it again. I think you are doing really, really well. It must have been awful to go through the colonoscopy and [I]gain[/I] a pound and a half. Grrr.... When you are through this part? That will seem so funny to you, that this could happen. And you will remember how discouraged you were, and how you stuck with it anyway. And that will make you stronger, for whatever the next challenge turns out to be. Cedar [/QUOTE]
