    Trying to find my way back...

    Having trouble getting back on the wagon. I've had so much stress in my life over the past few months it's a miracle i'm not in a mental hospital by now. But I'm still around and feel awful. I can see the damage I've done in the way my clothes fits. I've gained about 15 lbs and feel just yucky.

    I keep telling myself that I'll do it tomorrow but so far I haven't. Why can't I do this? I did this last April til November and lost 60 lbs. I feel so ashamed of myself.

    I know Atkins is the only way to go - its the answer for me. I went to the store and got all the right foods to start first thing in the morning. Any support would be extremely appreicated. I don't want to go back to my old weight - but that's where I'm headed if I don't get this under control now.

    Thanks everyone - I couldn't have lost the first 60 lbs without this Board.

    welcome back glad you are climbing back onboard and detoxing form those high carby foods here is some industrial strength low carb butt glue to asssit you in staying put!
    Get those before and after pics handy and ask yourself every time you plan to eat anything is this action taking me closer to the before looking me or the goal looking me? it will really help you be accountable for your actions before you take them.

    Happy low carbing.

        Pam you can do this. Please. I don't want you or anyone else to end up like I have. I have put all my weight back on plus 4 new pounds. I was on from April til the begining of June and lost 49 pounds and then slowly went trying to get back on the wagon. Here and there making it and then falling off. :sadblinky The important thing is not to give up. Keep trying. You WILL be a success and you WILL reach your goal. :nod
        I am on day two of induction and trying so hard. Its not easy, but the important thing is not to give up on yourself.....ever. :nod
        Believe in yourself. You can do it. I know you can. The CC family is here for you. A great group of people!

            Welcome Back.

            You will feel so much better once you get those carbs out of your system. Fill up a bottle with water and start to cleanse your system. Go for a little walk and clear your head. Purge your kitchen of High Carb foods and go buy some veggies. You will be back on track in no time.

                  Thank you all for your advice &amp; encourgement. It means the world to me and has really helped me. I started back on plan on Sunday and I am still hanging on. I have had the urge to cheat but have not given in.

                  I just keep thinking about how I felt when I weighted almost 300 lbs and the difference Atkins made when I lost 60 lbs. I felt so much better about myself. I still had a lot of weight to lose, but what I had lost was a big deal. I went from a 26-28 down to an 18. This was awesome for me.

                  So that is what is helping me hold on this time. I don't want to go back to my old weight. I've wasted enough of my lifetime being fat, now's the time to continue doing something right!

                  Thanks so much everyone!!!!!

                    Welcome back!!!

                    Listen to everyone...they know what they're saying. My only other comment would be to remember how you felt when you went off the wagon...and think of it next time you want to jump into some carbs...
