I don’t normally journal but tonight I am feeling really pissed off. Since starting my weight loss journey two weeks ago — going to the gym regularly and counting calories — I have seen my body start to tone. Still I am so upset with myself for being so “fat.” My things and my belly are huge. My shoulders hold weight unlike ever before. I know I should be okay with my body changing, I’m not a teenager anymore and I’m not in yoga training anymore. I’m not anxious all the time either, all things that kept me from putting on weight. I just wish I didn’t feel so chunky and I wish I didn’t feel so dependent on food. I’m trying to cut back but when I am hungry I am cranky. Maybe I need a new diet. Keto looks interesting but I’m so sad without carbs. Ugh I’m just frustrated, I will be okay.

I don't know if I'm one to give advice here, but I will say that giving up carbs was one of the best things I ever did. I never understood why I was hungry all the time -- why I could eat half a large pizza, for example, and not feel full. I am definitely "full" on low carb, and that is an amazing experience for me, who honestly my whole life never before knew what that felt like.
From your picture I can see that our struggles are probably different -- I've been very overweight (dieting roller coaster) all my life, went on my first diet in preK -- but one thing I've found is this: At least half of the game is mental. The carbs mess with my body in a way that makes me unable to think clearly about what is happening to me. Once they're gone, I am much better able to put food in its proper perspective.
Have you read Gary Taubes? Highly recommended. Made me cry the first time I read it -- he put into words something I'd "known" all my life but couldn't "figure out." Took away all the self-sabotaging guilt that goes with weight & dieting.

Thank you for your advice. I have though about cutting out carbs, I will be honest I am intimidated by it but I’m sure it would help. Thanks again!
