Here i am again, starting with another step

[everystepitake]

I came back to the ADBB back in november and was raring to go and well okay that all went to **** without a handbasket within like a day. So for the past basically 4 months i have been on the "verge" of and continual excuses, even though i have some really great goal rewards that my mom will help me get if i reach some major goals for me. She will treat me and her to a week at a spa and i get a $1000. She will also take me clothes shopping cause she "misses" doing that. Rolls my eyes lol, lucky me she has great taste in clothes and use to love to spoil me by buying me clothes when i looked awesome in them. Yes i know how can i NOT be losing weight then. i don't know. i just can't get myself motivated. I make plans, i try and get things going and its not that i don't know what to do or how to do it, its i just don't do it.

So this whole weekend i was like okay lets go make the food get going girl... but i didn't lol.. yeah yeah i know, what is wrong with me. However, even with this weekend being a bomb, i did decide to start drinking water today and i have 70 oz gone so far and i had chicken veggies and a lil cheese mix today for lunch.

So i am on my way.... i figure if i start one thought at a time i will finish this this time.

Re: Here i am again, starting with another step

hello every! Have you read the book? Just curious. I think it'd really help with getting you motivated as well. It's great that your mom is supportive but it really has to be you who wants to do it . You're right too, when you are really ready....get everything in your house acceptable to the diet so when you want a snack it's there. There's no reason to go hungry on this diet or not eat so eat as much as you want of the acceptable foods. You're on induction girl...enjoy it!

Re: Here i am again, starting with another step

yes, i have read, tabbed it, reread lol had to buy a new copy cause old fell apart read it and lost 50 lbs in about 3 months before only to gain it and more back when i "got bored" not in eating but in learning so to speak. Some of my friends think i learned myself out of it lol as its the process of learning that kept me motivated if that makes sense lol. So this time around i am thinking of learning to cook and try all kinds of new stuff as i have a 3inch nb of recipes and add to it constantly lol but don't know how to cook. i do have to retab my new book, as i just have it highlighted.

Thanks,

Re: Here i am again, starting with another step

Chuckles, i plan too check the recipes out, i am hoping by years end, i will be well on my way and close to my goal, AND lol be able to cook up some damn good low carb meals to where people don't realize they are low carb.

i did well yesterday, well sorta, i skipped BF, but had chicken and veggies and a lil cheese for lunch, dinner i had my "pizza topping" mixture lol, ground italian sausage, chopped up tomatos, spices and black olives with cheese mixed in and a small salad. So i did well in that i drank 130 oz of water (i haven't had a drink of water in over 6 months lol so that is awesome for me), and i didn't have my usual junk lunch and pizza dinner. Which is my norm lol.

As time goes on and i get reestablished with Atkins, i will get more creative i am sure.

Re: Here i am again, starting with another step

Very cool, I am the same way, I swear I am going to turn into a chicken, I eat it almost every day. I want to make impressive low carb meals that no one thinks is low carb. I just ordered SugarFreeSheila's cook books, and I am hoping that they will take me out of this recipe funk I am in, need some new ideas. Bring it on!
