Hi artic angel! Welcome to the wonderful world of journaling. I really enjoy being able to write my thoughts, frustrations and accomplishments each day. I know you will too. I'm so sorry your DH is not being supportive. I've been eating low carbs for two weeks as part of the South Beach Diet. Now I'm moving to Phase II and adding back good carbs slowly and boy is this harder than I thought. I actually feel like I'm getting almost "high" on the few items I've added back today! Crazy I know. I guess that's why it is suggested you add these items back gradually.
My DH is on the program with me so I don't have him working against me which is a blessing. I do have members of my family who don't appear to be supportive either in their comments or actions on purpose or without malice. I can't figure out which sometimes. I think the first step has to come from within you (or me as the case may be). We have to decide first off that we are not going to let others dictate what we put in our mouths. I am by no means an expert on this new way of life but I have been in several situations where I have felt very tempted to eat illegal foods. I mean I can't expect the world (family, co-workers and outright strangers not to eat tempting goodies just because I've made a choice to eat differently). That was the first step for me.
The second step is to keep yourself satisfied with your program. Are you doing SBD or Atkins or some other program? I ask because with SBD you eat 3 meals a day, 2 snacks a day and dessert. I am finding that I am actually eating whether I'm actually hungry or not. It may sound bizzare but if I let myself get real hungry, that will spell disaster for me so I pretty much try to eat every 3-4 hours. Also I keep an emergency ration of nuts or a cheese stick in my purse so that when others are enjoying a snack or I smell something that will trigger me wanting to eat, I have my snack. This strategy worked great for me when I was at my sister's house and they were snacking on fresh popped kettel corn. I just pulled out my cheese stick and at first they giggled but I think they respect me for sticking to my program.
Maybe if your DH sees you are totally serious and committed to this way of life and it's not just a passing fad, he will be more supportive. Sorry to be so long-winded. I hope some of this helps you out! I look forward to reading more of your journal entries.
