Carbie is visiting her folks and mom is not exactly a cheerleader. She's gonna keep checking the board, so I set up a thread for us to keep posting positive messages for her while she's there.

Carbie - you go, girl! You've been doing SO well! Do the very best you can to stay positive and focussed. Eat your veggies!

Re: Carbcounter999

Hope you've arrived by now and are doing ok. I'm thinking of you. You should be very proud of yourself for what you're doing. Don't forget to get some exercise while you're there! And drink your water!

Re: Carbcounter999

Hi Carbie! I'm just sitting here (no, I'm not smoking a cigarette. That's, um, smoke from the neighbor's bbq.....honest!) and zipping thru the Board, and thought of you.

I hope things are going ok. Are you able to eat Atkins food? Did you get to take a walk or something? Drinking your water?

Did we mention that you look GREAT? You can really tell that this woe is working......<g>

Re: Carbcounter999

Go girl, you can do this.

Re: Carbcounter999

Ok, I've decided that one of the following has happened:

1. Carbie is driving to her parents' home which is 7 million miles away and can't check the internet yet.

2. Carbie's folks live in Fla and she is under water.

3. Carbie's with her folks, things aren't good, and she's embarassed to post.

If number 1 is true, then HURRY UP!

If number 2 is true, I'll send a floatation device if you give the address.

If number 3 is true, well, Carbie, it's ok. We're here for you. Do not be embarassed. We support you no matter what. When you get home, you'll get back on track.

Of course, there's still the possibility of number 4: Carbie has been abducted by aliens.

Re: Carbcounter999

Hello all!!! This was so wonderful to see when I logged on! It took me a long time to get to my folks, with plane delay after plane delay and a very tiring journey. I've then been going with family and friends since I landed, so have just got a chance to get on the web. The good news is I stayed on plan even when offered pizza during the long long journey. Hurray!

So the question is how is Mum taking it? I think no matter what I explain to her she will never believe that eating saturated fat is good. But overall I'd say she is being moderately ok with it. She keeps referring to it as my "special diet" and asking me "can you eat this?". There is some eye rolling and shaking of her head though, but I'm tending to ignore it. She is trying to make it her own way of doing it somewhat, but I'm doing most of the cooking so she just gets what I make!

It is kind of discouraging that neither my mum or dad seem to have noticed that I've lost weight. My dad asked if it was working, so I said yes, but doesn't seem to notice that it is. Weird, since I've lost a good chunk of weight. Ah well, they'll just have jaws on the floor at Christmas. And if they don't, then I will myself!

On a great note, I went shopping yesterday and found several pairs pants in a size 18. I had been wearing a 22 or 24 before, which are now falling off. I even put a pair of size 16 jeans on hold because the 18's were a bit too BIG!! WOOOO!!!

So I am sticking to plan, drinking lots of water, exercising, and generally thinking I'm pretty darn cool. I know that being able to vent on ADBB made it so much easier to come home and face my mum's disapproval. Thank you all SOOOO much! Hugs to everyone!

Re: Carbcounter999

That is so great!!!! Congrats to you for staying strong, facing your mom, knowing you look good and not needing their approval, oh, and of course for fitting into those size 18s!!!!!!!

Keep us posted through your journey!
