  • Oh my gosh

    I have had an epiphany...lol

    I have done this woe since January 2004, so a little over 2 years. My first run with it has been my most successful one. Of course! From Jan 04 to Sept 04, I went from 245 to 169. Thats 76 pounds in 8 months (and 47 inches). Fantastic! But I fell, and I continued to fall many, many times....I would fall, eat bad for a few days or weeks, then I'd find my pants too tight and start over. I just couldn't find the motivation that I had in the beginning, I couldn't figure out what my problem was, how come I can't commit?? Well, I decided to read through my journal. And I noticed my problem. I started this woe by the book. I didn't eat frankenfoods at all. Then after I fell off the wagon, I'd get back on and supplement with sugar free candy....I rationalized them! It made sense and I CAN TOO have them....

    The frankenfoods were the very things that ruined me each time. I would eat them then slowly eat more and then go for the real stuff and be gone awry for weeks on end....I have reinducted on this WOL so many times I cannot count. I hate the fact that I have to do this. No, I don't have a choice, I HAVE to eat right. I HAVE to do all I can to prevent diabetes. My mom is an amputee due to diabetes and I WILL NOT ignore the lesson she has taught me. So I need to take action....and this time I think I have done it. I have made it through the 2 week induction WITHOUT sugar free candy or anything else SWEET, I cannot have the induction friendly desserts either. I am a sugar addict and I cannot have that reminder. One taste is all it takes for me and it's a constant spiral downhill from there. And I feel good.
    Yes, the loss is S L O W. . . .
    But I am hanging in there..what did I expect? to have the same success? I have confused the **** out of my body! I am making it right and I wanted to share this with you all, there may be someone else with a similar postion...
    Thanks for reading this chapter....

    my mom:
    The first is mom in her wheel chair, she spent a year in it and lived with me after her leg was amputated, she now holds a full time job and has her own apartment. I am very proud of her. The second picture is her FIRST STEPS EVER with her new leg. Since she uses public transportation and does alot of walking they built her one for athletics....

    induction friendly desserts....What?

    *congrats on the epiphany, I could use a few lol*

    I didnt know there was such a thing. Grrrr.... maybe its better that I don't know what they are for now.
    I have never been a big sweets eater, don't get me wrong I love them but not alot. My problem was salty carbs like I could sit and eat a whole big bag of chips alone. That's why I am not touching anything that even looks like a chip or bad carb. I wasn't even thinking about the diabetes. My mother also has diabetes and so did both my grandmothers, one that had to have part of her foot removed due to the diabetes. Wow, thanks for the post Disco

      Good for you! I also have to stay away from all of the fraken foods and sugar free stuff. It makes me just want more. That is what got me the first time too.

      Congrats on the epiphany!
