I'm on the low carb train. Only been at it for a week but I've lost six pounds. Probably a lot of water weight but still. I've found my alcohol cravings have reduced significantly on low carb. I drank last night but I wasn't even sure I wanted to. I just did bc I'm used to drinking every weekend. I didn't drink as much as I usually do. And I didn't binge on salty a sweet snacks like I usually do when drinking. So I consider that a win. I don't think there's anything wrong with drinking once a week but I was getting to the point where I would crave alcohol (but not drink it) even on weekdays. Those cravings are gone.

I'm hoping this diet will help me fit back into my clothes. When I bought size 18 jeans and they didn't even fit...that's when I said to myself I have to do something different. I can't keep buying a whole new wardrobe every three months because of weight gain.

I'm also going to be stopping my weight gain med in the next few months. That might help but I don't know. We will see.
