Weight Loss Sulking my way back to CC (new start) May 03 2009

well it is a life long journey so I would give yourself a break.  I don't think your self esteem should be in the gutter because you gained 15 pounds.  Maybe part of your journey is stop giving weight so much power.  I am almost 50 and I had to really learn to love and accept myself regardless of size.  For many of us weight represents a symptom of things much deeper.  It is too bad our society doesn't get it.  Weight is just a number and can't define you unless you let it.  Of course, we want to be healthy but the whole weight thing is an ongoing process.  That has been my experience anyway.  Be kind to yourself maybe figure out what the food is doing for you and go from there.  Good luck!

Health & Support how many grams of carbs is 20%? Apr 21 2008

yes, I think it is harder to count the calories when you are trying to count carbs.  And, I also agree about not giving up carbs.  Thanks for the response.  Yesterday, I brought my carbs down to 34% before it was at 50 so that was good.  It would be helpful if they had some kind of chart somewhere that showed you how to figure the grams to the %. Of course, math was my weak subject so who knows if that would really help me!  Thanks, Lenice
