    2nd time around

    I've started several posts but keep erasing them because I sound so pathetic... I look like crap, I feel like crap and I feel like I'm on a downward spiral. I gave up smoking over a month ago and even started that back. I feel like such a loser except for the weight, ofcourse.
    I work a full time job and now I'm starting school 3 nights a week for the next 10 weeks and all I really want to do is sleep. I felt so good when I was on atkins and exercising and I'm hoping for the strength to begin again.

    I'm not to fat for my height, I'm too short for my weight.

    Hi Eve,

    Welcome to STAC!

    Congratulations on not erasing this post. You have made the first step and you have definately come to the right place if you want support to get your Atkins working for you.

    Check out the stickeys at the top of the forum first thing and get started with your new wol. Once you get thru a 2 week clean induction you will have all sorts of energy and that 10 weeks of night school will fly right by.

    If you think you would like a buddy just let me know or PM someone that you would like to chat with. It may help to have a buddy on your journey.

    Come on .... be a loser with the rest of us here in STAC! So glad you came by!

      Aw........don't worry about what we'll think of your posts! We have all been pretty darned pathetic when we finally were honest to ourselves and got the guts to come back on the board and re-start Atkins. I know I felt pretty loathesome, and nobody here seemed to think so!

      The key is to come to this forum every day and bare your soul if you need to. Read what others have to say and share experiences.

      So, welcome back!

        Oh Eve, don't be so down on yourself....We all get in these little slumps....The point is that you pick yourself up and say Im going to do this for myself and then put your mind to it....i know it can be hard....but nothing in life thats desired is ever easy....

        So WE know you can do it....Now we just need you to know you can do it....

        Good Luck and Keep us posted...

                You guys are sooooo great!! Thank you very much for the support. I worked all day yesterday and went straight to class from 6:00 to 10:00 so I was pretty beat when I can home. I've kept up with the water (thank goodness they had hourly breaks at class;-) I didn't eat as much as I should yesterday but I will do better today. I'm feeling a little better now that I have a new resolve and the support from this board.

                  I truly hope that someday when you say " I feel like such a loser" that it's about the weight.

                  If you need your spirits picked up, this is just the place to be!

                  Good luck!

                    That's a loooong day, Eve! When you get into the groove a bit, you can try packing little baggies of snacks to munch periodically so that you eat as much as you need to.

                    Keep up the good work, you loser!
