Journal de GlennM, 22 juin 13

I am on at least well, four or five meds that can cause weight gain... and so I was doing well till the other day. I know now that I must go low carb again. I hate it, but it works. No fruit is the biggest hurdle. I can't find Breyer's low carb ice cream anymore either, I looked recently. I don't have a sweet tooth, but like many I am hooked on diet Coke or diet Dr. Pepper Cherry, etc. etc. I did this before. It is such a SLOW process. It may take me a year to get down to 200. I am near 240 now, not good. I am ditching cable TV Monday. No more television. It is an excuse not to go for a walk. Where I live now lacks a lot of sidewalk areas around me, so I don't want to go out as I have to cross a very busy road and it is a pain. There is a road in the woods behind me and I can walk it back and forth and may do that for now, I got bug spray that smells like lemons, instead of poison. I did this before, the main benefit I found was that my appetite decreased. I have to get my weight down. The arthritis I have is preventing me from working out regularly. My twin sister has lost a lot in the past four months or so, and so she must be eating very little. It is low-carb (sort of). I have been journaling and the other day was around 3000 mindless calories so I am in deep trouble with that and my metabolism-slowing meds. I read one celebrity was on just ONE of them and she is very short and gained sixty pounds. I am on four of these freaking meds, and I can't function without them. I know a lot of it is the meds, two of which also slow down the GI tract. And so hear I go... low carb here I come. My friends will get my Ramen Noodles. When Luanne visits me she can take the many boxes I have. Wish me luck - I did it before, I can do it again. Calorie counting will not work if one is on a psychotropic drug, a tranquilizer and two narcotic pills for severe back pain... I will switch back to Atkins soon. Even a pound a week loss is better than where I am now. I am 6'2" on the muscular side, but I am naturally thin, so this isn't cutting it.

Glenn - first, thank you for your kind support on my journal. And although I am fortunate and do not have Med Issues... my heart feels for you. Eating low carb is a successful tool for people w/ some of your issues - so give it a fair shake! You may just start feeling better (energy wise) once you get past the first week or so. No matter, just take it one day at a time. If you can make it thru one day...you can make it thru two. Just hang in there, and keep at it.

Most low carb plans will allow low glycemic fruit like berries - and you are in luck because they are in season now!

Thanks, Paula. I did low carb before it works, it is just very slow. A pound and a half a week maybe in the past over many months, but that does add up. Buffy - I ate two containers of blueberries yesterday, so that is one thing I have to be very careful with...
