Quelling Carb Cravings!

[va32h]

Hi, I'm new here, my weight gain started about 2 years ago, when I started working from home, and just kept snacking at the computer all day. One day I woke up, and none of my clothes fit!

My big weaknesses are bread, potatoes pasta and pretzels. I would like to try the South Beach Diet, but I don't know if I could make it those first two weeks!

Any suggestions?! I got a stationary bike for Xmas and have been using it 15-20 minutes every day, and have recently started taking daily walks, although I don't walk very fast or far, since I have my 2 year old with me. More of a daily amble.

Congratulations on your great start!

The carb cravings will go away! The first two weeks are the hardest, but if you keep legal snacks readily available, you can do it!

I try to keep on hand: cheese sticks, hard boiled eggs, cut up veggies (green peppers, mushrooms, cucumbers, etc.), cooked chicken breasts, macadamia nuts, beef jerkey.

You can do it!!! Keep up the good work!!
