Jenny is improving

Leslie · 10-20-2003, 10:39 AM

Jenny don't be so hard on yourself. The diet is not for everyone. I know some people that do better when they have NO carbs because when they do- it sets them up for a downfall.

You protein pancke cheat day was far better than ANY cheat day I ever had. That showed great discpline and control. I think thtas something we all need to learn- to controll ourselves and lead a balanced life.

I hope my post didnt hurt yuour feelings. I only did it for two reasons- to make it aware the "carb cycle" was not the only reason for lack of results and for you to see all those lil

's are not worth it in the long run. Because all those lil

's won't help your pants fit better

Whatever plan you chose, just remeber consistency is key AND there are alot of girls out there trying to diet and things to look as hot as you already do

Jenny · 10-20-2003, 10:51 AM

As I told in my reply to Ponyboy (read it if you haven't already

), I know I'm being too hard on myself sometimes. I'm working on that..

Your post did make me feel bad. It just hurts when you see all of your mistakes all in one post

I know you weren't trying to be mean, or make me feel bad

I will give J'Bos plan a try. I am planning to do a photo shoot for my new webpage (it just got up today

) in December and need to tighten up for that.

Thanks Leslie, I appreciate your help and support

Yes I know. Sometimes the truth hurts. But I bet my life you are fired about about it and will not cheat for a while

Thanks Leslie, I appreciate your help and support

I am hear for you Jenny, and totally understand exactly what your going through honey!!! I agree that the carb program is great for others--but for you and I--who have both had eating disorders, and get so scared about our bodies, its just harder on us.

Good Luck with your new plan sweetie--your going to look SO hot for your photo shoot!!!!!

nikegurl · 10-21-2003, 10:24 AM

i couldn't hang with the carb rotation either. i definitely plan to try it again in the future though. it was entirely my fault but i decided that it wasn't for me right now. the bloat after high carb days while normal and expected really freaked me out. and no matter how much i knew not to i was always screwing with the days. by that i mean i'd turn low carb days into no carb b/c they were after the high carb and i'd be bloated and feeling bad. so then i'd have 2 no carb days in a row with minimal fat and i'd cheat on carbs the 2nd day and then want to skip the high carb day b/c i felt i hadn't "earned" it.

craziness i know.....

i decided it's not for me right now. i bet it would work well but mentally it's too hard on me. (ironic since it should be easier)

that long rant was just meant to tell you that you're definitely not alone and don't you dare give up. (i know you won't!) you're gonna be magnificent for your photo shoot!

	I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain...
