Hello,
I have really enjoyed your conversation. I have the same problem because I lost all my weight with carb cravers, not McDougalling but I have been a McDougaller for two years now. Unfortunately after a hysterectomy I had in 2010 I have never returned to my previous level of exercise and BMI. Instead of being 135 and fitting into MY 20 pairs of size 4-6 pants I have four stretchy pairs that my 157 lb body can get into and it is HORRIBLE!!!! I have had to fight my weight down from 164 after maintaining my weight loss for 4 years without any problem and then slowly gaining the 30 lbs from 2010 until a year ago. It has taken me a year to get off 10 lbs, because I am a cheater, There is no other word for it. I figured it out and every third day, I overeat to the tune of 800 calories. I also felt guilty for being the only thin one of all my friends and was badly influenced to eat out by them and family members who felt I was too thin. That wasn't true because at 5'5, 135 was still heavy for me. Well I am trying hard now and will be following you all. Best wishes. I want to look good this spring and summer and not look at the roll around my waist anymore so I hope we are all successful.
