Second time Lucky ...I Hope!!

[bluchrome]

Hi I'm a 24yr Old male and overweight. I'm starting back on Atkins tomorrow morning (Monday), this is my second time on Atkins.

I kinda feel stupid, Atkins really worked for me before, When I started Atkins in July 2004 I was squeezing myself into 44" waist trousers, at my best on Atkins I dropped to 38". I was so happy and proud of myself I think I began to take things for granted. Old habbits crept back in and here I am now gaining back weight and nearing a return to 40" trousers.

I AM going to do it this time. I have to, I am due to be a 'Best man' in February 2006 and am planning a 3week trip to New Zealand in April 2006. I don't want to stand up and give a speech at my best friends wedding the size I am now. And I don't want to fly half way around the world squeezed into a plane seat adequately sized for the average ***!

I have my motivation, I know what to do, but for some reason I am very apprehensive this time around and I don't know why. I was soo enthuiastic last time... this time, I'm just scared.

Thanks for reading this post. I just needed to write it down, I can't fail this time. I want it, and I need to do this.

Thanks Spikette ! I think I am going to make a point of checking in here, being totally honest and hopefully leaning on some of the guys here for support! Perhaps if I had been more than just a lurker last time I may have susceeded.

Back to work tomorrow morning. My first obstacle will be avoiding the Sandwich lady who sells her carb laden goodies next to my desk at 10.30am!
I really should go to bed, it's 11pm and I should get a good nights rest to face Induction Day 1!!
