good morning all
hi everyone! sounds like things are going great for many! and that
darn scale can get frustrating, but have no doubt that things are
going well for you…remember how good you feel on this way of
eating, remember the looseness of your clothing..remember positive
thoughts even when the numbers dont show it…i am very proud of
everyone for the jobs well done [not sure if that means anything or
not] i am just so happy not to be alone in this struggle with
changing our lives..sometimes the changes can be tough but the
rewards are worth it! huggles to all!
i have been on induction since..hmmmm july sometime or june..not
quite sure anymore..i was 254 when i started and am about 215 now..i
would love to have lost more but i am truly happy with the weight
loss so far..it has come to a stall the past 6 or 8 weeks..though i
was on vacation for the last 2 weeks..and i did go back to some of my
old ways..but..and this is a big BUT…i did not beat myself up for
it and in doing that..i knew i could get back on track again..i did
not overeat the carbs at every meal..but i sure did on some..when i
got home on friday i was up 7 pounds..and instead of putting myself
down for it..i got right back on track..and today i am back to 215
again..i am so happy to know a way of eating that DOES
work….unfortunately the weekend was rough as i went through some
minor withdrawal symptoms..but thankfully i was prepared for them..
believe it or not..i am truly a negative person, seeing the cup half
empty instead of half full…since being on atkins, not only has my
outside changed, my insides have as well, i am able to see things in
perspective and more positive [yes i fall back to negative still as
well…] but overall my thoughts have improved and i am almost able
to say..i like who i see now..but i know that will come with
work..just like everything else
okay have rambled on and on….just want to wish everyone positive
thoughts ….we can do it! we can!….
huggles and happy new eating
