Day One

268. Naked weight. Here I go. Low carb diet. "Atkins" if you want to call it that.

I call it learning how to eat again.

I did this once before. Very successfully. But it was very different with my being in Germany where I was way way way way more active.

And this is, as I said before, very hard to write about because I feel like I am a failure. And who wants to feel like a failure?

So here I go. My first impressions? Again: I've done this before but not like this. Not blogging about it where someone might see it. But the eating part is easy. The craving part is not. Not at least for the first few days where you have to get used to the way you are eating. Eggs and sausage and cheese are all great.

I'm gonna have a taco meat salad later. See? It's not hard. Just disciplined.

You don't suffer. Not at all. But there are a lot of things you have to watch out for.

Carbs are EVERYWHERE. Sugar in the Standard American Diet (S.A.D.) is everywhere.

And Penn Jillette kinda gave me a kick in the ass, having mentioned SAD.

So here I go! Off into the world of no sugar and all fat.

And hopefully I can be thinner again.
