Hey gang,
I was thinking about you all this morning. I got up unusually early... long story, something to do with dh set the alarm and then forgot and i had to find it, turn if off, etc... BUT, I was able to sit in front of the tube and channel surf while I had my first cup of (ahem) decaf. The only thing on t.v. (besides paid programming) was a show on Discovery called "I Lost It". Has anyone seen this?
It was my first time watching it and this wonderful lady has lost 120 pounds over the past year and has kept it off. So, I am really impressed by her and I waiting for the inevitable..."She just decided to exercise and eat right"...but no, she came right out and said how Atkins was working for her and she loved this way of eating and ate six meals a day... etc...
Wow, some validation. This is what we already know. We know this works, don't we?
Here is my latest thought. I spent the past month straying from my WOE. I did this because of a difficult time in my life that made it extremently hard to perpare foods, etc... I decided that I would just try to watch what I eat (calorie wise) so that I wouldn't gain too much back. Well, of course, I did gain and I am back on induction, day three!
BUT, in my rambling way I wanted to tell you that if we choose NOT to eat atkins, we have to choose to gain weight or we can choose the low calorie diet. I know that we tend to think that we can watch our calories (weight watchers anyone) and be able to eat the pasta and pizza, right? That is so wrong. When you are on WW or any other similar plan you have to eat baked potato plain, side salad with little dressing and on the side, no cheese and maybe a pickle, if you don't over do it. NO THANKS!!
Don't forget...if you decide to binge, you are not going to lost weight. You will GAIN! You are making a decision to GAIN! That is just the harsh and sad reality of it.
Give me my chef salad with ranch dressing any day.
