I have massively failed at low-carbing during this time. I am so angry at myself because I am not normally an emotional eater but during this stress I have done just that. Then while the blog was down last week I was making wedding cake which means that all of that nervous energy went into licking spoons. My doctor told me that my medication was messed up so my metabolism is super low and we have a family vacation at the beach in a couple of months. I had wanted to lose weight and firm up and here I have wasted a month. I tell you this because sometimes I think that we writers come across as having all our ducks in a row and these perfect lifestyles where everything falls into place.

Nothing could be further from the truth, at least for me. I struggle to stay on low-carb sometimes, many times. I fall off, I get back on, and I cry when the scales tell me the wrong numbers. The point isn’t that I am whining — the point is this. As long as I keep getting back on track I will achieve my health goals.

And if I can do that, you can do that.
