Maharani kitten – it’s good to hear you are feeling so great and full of energy now.
I am feeling good also and am going to make the roasted broccoli and mature cheddar cheese soup today.
One major stress that I have had over the BSD is what happens afterwards.
Reading posts on this forum has made me realise I am an all or nothing person. So I have found the BSD so easy because I just haven’t had one single mouthful of bad carbs. What I am spectacularly bad at is what happens afterwards.
My very first diet was in 1965 – after a year’s secretarial course and eating in the carb fest that masqueraded as a college canteen I had to go on a strict diet. Then there was the next one and the next one etc etc….. I was so amazingly good at putting all the weight back on in record time.
But reading posts on this forum has really helped to formulate my own personal maintenance plan that that will really work for me.
I keep of all the bad carbs – absolutely off them – not even one single mouthful. That suits my all or nothing personality and I also find it really easy. I cannot do a little bit of bad carbs now and again. I never have ever since 1965 and am not likely to change now.
I will keep recording everything on fat secret and my notebook. I absolutely love doing it (sad I know) and it keeps me on track.
I will keep reading and posting on this forum – again I love doing it and it keeps me on track.
Then I don’t particularly need to watch the calories and can add more nuts (which I absolutely love) and a bigger portion of fage, more cheese some clotted cream on my berries as a treat (it still feels very wicked to eat fat). Just a bit more of all the lovely food that I have discovered on the BSD.
So now no more stress about what happens after I lose my last 3 or 4lbs – I can just relax and enjoy the journey.
