    Got my butt back here again.

    Hey Everyone, I'm back. Not a threat at all.
    I left almost a year ago when I could not financially keep up with specifics of the Atkins WOE. Things are just a bit better now and I'm back.

    I do have some health concerns now as well. I've been diagnosed with systemic Lupus and i'm taking steroids (prednisone) for it which has given me some bloat but the rest of me is just fat. But on a good note, I also have not had a soda to drink in almost 8 months.

    When i left so long ago, I threw my scale away so I really don't know how much i've gained, I just know I'm larger and uncomfortable. I'm back into a 3x in clothes and I'm not happy about that.

    Today I started with 3 soft boiled eggs. My lunch was 3 polish sausage links with some cheese, and some crystal lite. And for dinner its some leftover turkey soup I made from leftovers, onion, celery, cabbage and some choyte squash. I've got to drink more water instead of iced teas.
    I'm going to find my old water bottle and get that going tomorrow.

    Just wanted to stop by and tell you I'm back and I need your support. I have picked the weakest time of the year for me to come back but heck, I this and the support this place gives.

    Welcome back Patty.


    Things that helped me back in July when I started -

    Drink lots of water - at least 64 ounces a day
    Join some of the challenges on the board
    Read the 2002 version of the book
    Veggies from the acceptable list are very important
    Log your food (fitday is good) - helps you see if you are meeting your Fat/Protein/Carbs - 65%/30%/5%


    Good luck and post often, it does help

          Welcome back!!!!

          What I know:
          1-Atkins WOE/WOL plan works
          2-I need to always work on the behaviors and triggers that make me over eat.
          3-Atkins WOL is part of the puzzle, but is not the entire thing.
          4-Self-deprecation only feeds our inner ego and not in a good way.
