Not being able to do it makes it that much harder to stick to.<br /><br />Wendy: You shout it proud.<br /><br />R: Chips are a serious weakness. All dressed ruffles.<br /><br />Uta: Thank you! It really does suck adjusting to metabolic slow down...<br /><br />Susan: Enjoyment is what we're here for, IMO.<br /><br />Tiffany: I do enjoy some rice. But I'm ok without it. <br /><br />CGC: There's always something to trip us up!<br /><br />Bel: You are an example to us all. I wish I had your zeal for the clean living.<br /><br />Kristin: That makes 2 crabby Kristins!<br /><br />Pseu: I find that wine is the easiest way to moderate. It's unnecessary, for starters (well, nutritionally, I mean) :-)<br /><br />Rhi: Thanks so much for you rlovely comment. And I think you're right on the mark. How I wish I didn't crave the processed stuff :-)K.Linehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15350615302797686048noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1606088928583067206.post-13276381678999214612011-03-15T01:02:58.145-04:002011-03-15T01:02:58.145-04:00Hi! I've only started reading your blog recent...Hi! I've only started reading your blog recently, but you've got some great ideas and posts. One thing I've found that really helps with the carb cravings? Maybe try this rule: nothing refined. It really helps me to think this way, because your body just needs the right kind of foods. Whole wheat everything, no refined sugars, eating an actual apple instead of dried fruit or apple juice... Things like that. I know everyone has their own thing, but it's one that's worked for me! Love your blog!Rhihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11359140713934441783noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1606088928583067206.post-41410454725833603702011-03-10T16:09:15.073-05:002011-03-10T16:09:15.073-05:00At this point, I'm still keeping carbs pretty ...At this point, I'm still keeping carbs pretty low (don't count g's, but am not eating any obvious carbs or sugars or even fruit more than a couple of times per week) and still am mostly doing OK with it. Cut back on the wine a bit this week, trying to make that final push to goal (3 lbs. to go) after having plateaued for several weeks.<br /><br />I find I go through phases. For weeks, I'm fine with what I'm eating. Then I'll get bored. When that happens I try to mix it up a bit, maybe some veggies I haven't had in a while, some sushi (with brown rice if possible), some new gourmet cheese. I allow myself a couple of small squares of very dark chocolate daily. But I just feel SO much better being off the carbs, I really don't want to go back. There are almost no foods I truly miss, other than a fleeting, "geez those apple fritters smell good!" But then it's over and forgotten almost immediately. I do think habit plays a large role.Susan Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16005855250089328310noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1606088928583067206.post-48970135411828927362011-03-09T13:49:56.326-05:002011-03-09T13:49:56.326-05:00I tried to severely limit my carbs once...boy did ...I tried to severely limit my carbs once...boy did that make one crabby Kristin.

It seems there's a new part of my shape giving way every couple of weeks or so. Unfortunately, moderation in everything - and no foods off-limits - is the only way that works for me. So it's either amping up the exercise (ugh) or living with the changes (double ugh) for me. I hope your plan works out for you!Utahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06011335110798185030noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1606088928583067206.post-71477110198078232402011-03-08T13:42:33.311-05:002011-03-08T13:42:33.311-05:00Sweets don't tempt me nearly as much as fries ...Sweets don't tempt me nearly as much as fries and chips do (we're not even talking cheese, here). I am trying to wean myself off of processed foods (chips, crackers, etc.) and make them a once a week treat instead of a twice daily affair. My goal is that this clean eating will help me to run faster. But damn it's hard. And I'm out of town this week so I'm just trying to limit it to once a day. :)Raquelitahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13138113830990586689noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1606088928583067206.post-24112383400246996742011-03-08T11:46:39.889-05:002011-03-08T11:46:39.889-05:00I just can't bear to give up carbs.
