Carbs, carbs and more carbs

[sbg224 318]

Hello, I have not been on as much as I used to. Really just checking in. Feel like this is a place I can vent. I am a little over 1 year out, and holding at 165lbs, that's 103lbs down, very grateful. I just seem to be slipping some, not using my fitness pal, like I was, still eating more carbs then i should. I mean what is it with these carbs, so addicting, and the more I eat the more I want, really like a drug they say. Any tips how to stay away. My fist 6-8 months I was the model sleeve patient. Followed the diet to a T, then back to some carbs, finally after 7 week stall, stopped them, lost 9 lbs in 2 weeks, then back to carbs. Not junk, more like, bread, Pasta and crackers. Would like to lose 20 more lbs, but we shall see where this body goes, with my help of course. Good luck to everyone, and for those veterans any tips would be much appreciated.

I eat a fair amount of carbs, but in a calculated way. It's certainly true that carbs breed carbs. You need to always be putting your Protein first. Are you eating carbs at the expense of protein or in addition to your protein?

I do eat my Protein, usually 100 gms a day, so the carbs are in addition to protein. Hard to stop, but recently lost another 2 lbs, this body has a mind of it's own, but grateful

At 165 your body may just be where your body wants to be. How tall are you? Are you at a healthy weight?

How much of a struggle do you want to have to get those last few pounds if they are just for vanity?

Just a thought.
