Well it is day 5 and I slept off another pound last night. I promised myself I wouldn't get on the scale everday, but I have to say I am getting addicted. (as long as these pounds keep coming off
) I am so proud of myself. I can't believe how well it is going this time. This is my third time "seriously" being on Atkins. The first time I lost 50 pounds in two months then I got married and I let my best friend convice me to have a piece of my wedding cake. She said it would be bad luck if I didn't. I know it sounds silly that that one piece of cake would be my down fall, but it was. I just couldn't get back on track after that sweet treat. Then I got pregnant with my third child. After I had her I went back on it and was on it for a month and only lost like maybe 3 pounds and was so discouraged at all that hard work and all the small loss that I just gave up. It seemed like it was all for nothing. I don't know what was going on. I tried again a few times in between all this but without success. I just couldn't get "back on". But here I go "again" on my third and final try. I know I am back in the saddle this time. I feel like I did the first time. And, now I know not to make that mistake again. A carb junkie is much like any other junkie. You just can't go back. I am having quite a bit of success.
I am by no means trying to rub it in if I sound that way to anyone that is having trouble. That is why I told a part of my story. I have had just as much trouble as anyone. And, you know what it finally took to get me here. I finally made my husband be honest with me. And before any of you give him a slap over the head I asked for it and I am glad that we have the kind of relationship that he can be honest with me. It took me asking him several times and telling him that I really wanted the truth, but he gave it to me. I asked him a few weeks ago if he was really actracted to me. And he said yes. I said no, I mean like you were when I was smaller. (I was A LOT smaller when we met. ) He lied at first and said yes baby I love you no matter what. I said I want you to tell me the truth I need you to tell me the truth no matter what it is. He said fine than no I am not. I love and you and think you are beautiful, but no I am not as attracted to u as I was. I know it sounds harsh. But, it kicked my but into gear. It kicked me out of the woe is me mode. And, in to that I am going to do something about the butt following me around mode. I can do this and I am going to do this. ONE POUND AT A TIME.
