Bravo! You are an inspiration.

Hang in there! You are not being selfish. I feel the same way you do. You do you!

Hi, I started FTS last week. I lost 5lbs. I just registered on the website. I'm a life long dieter and have lost and gained but have never really reached my goal. In January I began to do research and realized that low-carb was the way to go. I started on my own and realized through trial and error that I had to stay at 20  carb grams or less as FTS says to lose. My weight loss is always slow and it is discouraging when I hit plateaus. I bought the FTS book and it really spoke to me. I really hope this time with the encouragement of this forum  and the FTS community I can finally conquer this obstacle.  I'm tired of feeling fat, ugly, and unfit. I'm so fed up with people giving me the pitying looks or assuming  because I'm obese that I'm lazy and out of control in all areas of my life. For once I want to be able to wear a bathing suit. For once I want to be able to prove all the naysayers wrong. I'm calling this the revenge diet!
