My odd reaction

I saw a friend tonight that I haven't seen in a few weeks. As we were parting ways she says "you look smaller, are you losing weight?" without missing a beat I replied "Shh! I don't like to talk about it." then I came to my senses and said "thank you, yes."

Weird, huh? I could analyze the hell out of that and try to figure out where that came from. Maybe I'm afraid of jinxing myself, or maybe I just don't want to be noticed. Maybe I have some deep seeded aversion to a compliment or maybe I don't feel I'm worthy.

More than likely, it's just because I'm weird.

I'm still eating low carb. Today is 8 weeks. 8 weeks without chips, 8 weeks without milk, 8 weeks without fruit, 8 weeks without potatoes.
I did add yogurt back into my diet this week, but not the regular kind. I used to eat a yogurt with lunch everyday and I found that it just made me hungrier. I think the problem was that I was eating the no fat stuff. No fat and artificially sweetened. Blech. I bought some full fat, plain Fage which is Greek yogurt. Really thick and rich and very filling. I didn't have problems with wanting to eat my arm off after eating it. Oh, and it's low carb :) I'm not going to eat it everyday, but I like having it as an option.

I had another personal trainer try and tell me that I needed to be eating carbs. I was having a hard time finding a time to meet with my trainer for a couple weeks, so just to get a session in, I made an appointment with another trainer. Immediately she wanted to talk nutrition. I told her what I had been eating and why and what does she do? Tells me to eat an English muffin or toast with breakfast and to eat my hamburgers with buns. I think for normal people, that's great advice, but for somebody like me who has completely fucked up their body with years of dieting and binging, don't screw with what works.

I have an appointment with my doctor next week, just a routine check up sort of thing and I'm curious to hear what he has to say about it. Not that I'll listen if he tells me to eat carbs either, he's a hack. I cant wait for until I've really lost a noticeable amount of weight so i can tell people that I did it by not eating carbs. Then when somebody says "that's not healthy" I can say "right. I was so much healthier 100 pounds ago."

Ok, that's kind of putting the cart before the horse. I need to get there first.
