My shopping trip last night officially marked my rededication to low carb.

I'm craving sugar now pretty heavily. Sugar! I must be strong and persevere. The downside to low-carb eating is that cheating is an absolute no-no, especially in the early days. It throws everything off for hours, if not the whole day.

If it is your will, read my post about the Trinity here in [livejournal.com profile] challenging_god and here in [livejournal.com profile] convert_me.

I've been walking the line with going back to doing that, too. My friend, Miss Robin, has already gotten back on the wagon and is currently sugar detoxing.

The first time I ever did it, I had a horrible time getting away from the sugar. And then after it was all completely gone from my system, I discovered the existence of sugar free candy and chocolate. This time go round should be a lot easier on me. ^_^

I find that eating flour, potato or sugqr really increases carb craving. Just like alcohols need to stay clean, so do us carb addicts. After several years, the cravings after an ocassional binge is fairly easy to handle. But for the first 6 months or so, the cravings are rather horrific. The only which kept me on a low carb diet in the intensly craving period was fear of having my feet amputated from non-healing diabetic ulcers.
