Confessions of a Carbohydrate Addict

Eating healthy since 3/29/04!

This blog is my struggle against carbohydrate addiction and to stay in my size 8 jeans. It is my struggle with thyroid disease, which slows my metabolism to a crawl. This blog is also about God & my struggle to move toward Christian maturity (I am far from perfect!). Finally, you'll find gratuitous cat pictures.

I lost 65 pounds on Atkins by watching my calories and carbs. I'm a raging carbohydrate addict trying not to go face first in the donuts and stay in my size 8 jeans. After gaining 17 back I started a low-fat, moderate-carb, high-protein diet. I have two fuzzy children - a grey tabby cat (Xena) and an orange tabby cat (Abby), both spayed females. Besides weight loss and health, my other passion is religion. I'm an ex-Witch, but have been a Christian since 1996, joining the Seventh Day Baptist church in 1999. I'm politically moderate, but conservative faith-wise. I believe in headcovering (1 Cor. 11). I'm truly pro-life, which means I am also against the death penalty.

The blue hair is something!

But I'm more amazed with your success in dieting.

I'm sure it's a great inspiration for others who are still struggling to reach their goal.

I've linked you up in my blog. Hope that's ok. Thanks!

You look great! I can barely see the blue hair, though - just around the edges.

You know, after looking at your progress in terms of 3 conferences a year apart, and knowing where you are at now, I think I should quit complaining about not making progress "fast" enough! Thanks!

I actually dyed my hair blue right before leaving for Conference, so it was pretty darn blue. It's just the lighting in the pic doesn't really show it up.

Same thing happened with my passport photo. I had very blue hair at the time, but it didn't show well in the pic.
