Re: Atkins Attack, May 1st - June 15th.
Cynthia, Cynthia Cynthia!! Tsk tsk.... no wet noodle bashing but just a gentle reminder that support makes all the difference in the world when you are trying to do this WOL. No judgement on slip ups or lack of direction will ever be sen around here (I hope) but I will deffinately say that you are worth the effort and time that it takes to do this way of eating and life. If you feel blah about it, that is ok. No one feels gung ho all the time. Me especially. There are times I sit there eating my taco salad, which is a staple of my eating and grumble the entire time wishing it were a bowl of captain crunch, but I shake that off and try to remind myself that maturity and self control mean doing what is not always the fun thing or the enjoyable thing but the right thing. If you decided to give this up where would you be in a year? This is the question I ask myself all the time. Believe me I am not a woman of iron will. I struggle daily! DAILY!!!!! Seriously, I don't think it is because I particularly like carbish foods, I just don't like thinking that there is something out there that I am being told I can't eat. And really Atkins doesn't tell you you can't eat these foods. It is just a matter of do these foods get you to your goal... for me the answer is no. They are counterproductive. My goal is more important to me most days, not all days but most days. In the long run *most days* will get you where you are wanting to go. But thinking about the reasons why you started this and how much you really want this is a good thing to remind yourself of on a regular basis. I put sticky notes on my bathroom mirror to remind me why I am doing this. It is usually in the form of my highest BP reading and my last BP reading. They are reason enough for me to keep going. I was a walking stroke before atkins. I wouldn't want to go back to that.
Anyways, my boobs are so small compared to before. I was a 42 G and now I am a 36DD, But I like to say i was a 42 G now I am a 42 long. Not attractive!
We are being presented an offer on our house in a hour, so i have to go, but I'll be back.
Have I told you all how impressed I am with you all and all of these inches you are losing? Goodness, I better get my butt back in full tilt mode!

I just don't think I trust myself to know that I'll continue to lose weight.
