Urgh. Debbie asked me to stop eating carbs again. She thinks that my raising blood sugar and lack of weight loss has to do with the carbs. Could be. I don't know. It's frustrating. I really haven't lost weight since BEFORE she let me have carbs again, so I don't really think it's that.
To say I am happy about this would be a lie. I am not. I don't eat many, and I only eat healthy carbs. But obviously SOMETHING isn't working right in my body. After eating so healthily for just about a year now, I should be weighing a lot less, rather than plateauing since last May. That's 6 months where I have bounced up and down with the same three to four pounds.
This has happened before. When I was on Weight Watchers, I lost 35 pounds within the first 5 months and then nothing for a year. I finally did some sort of drastic fad diet to reach my goal weight (which had been modified by my doctor, who said that my meds kept me from losing more).
My intention is to finish out this week with carbs, so I can use up what is in the house. That basically means eating the leftover spaghetti squash and having a piece of toast each day, and maybe a potato or two. Then I'm cut off again.
Not sure if I can go the full two weeks, because the end of next week is Core Strength Experience and they feed us. A lot harder to eat NO carbs there, but I'll definitely be conscious and do my best to bring my own food.
A part of me hopes that it doesn't make a difference whether I eat carbs or not. But honestly, I do want my body to get well and if this is what it takes, so be it.
