  • 3rd Time Around ~sigh~

    I had to get my drivers license renewed a couple of weeks ago. I went to throw my old one in a drawer, and noticed my old license from 5 1/2 years ago was in there. I pulled it out and compared it to the new one and was totally disgusted with myself. I was heavy back then, but now I'm even 50 pounds more overweight. I've tried the Atkins WOL twice before and lost 50 pounds once and 30 pounds once, so I know it works. I don't even really remember why I went back to my old WOE both times. I think I slipped by eating some type of sweets or drank some Pepsi or a glass of wine and just let it spiral out of control from there. I am determined to stick with it this time. I have had good intentions of starting back on the Atkins WOE several times, but never seem to make it through the first day. This time I waited until spring break was over (we went to the beach for the week) so I have no excuses. The first three days are always the hardest for me, so I have to keep myself motivated to get past that point. I guess maybe I should go print out those awful pictures and put them on the refrigerator and cabinet doors to keep myself from cheating.

    Hi Tracy Welcome Back! Your stats and mine are very similar. I too just started back recently on this WOE. I did very well last year, losing about 50 pounds and then I would cheat here and there, not exercise, and never did get back fully on the program until now. I had a hard time getting motivated too. Finally I was just sick and tired of all the "bad" thoughts about myself I have in my head and decided I had to recommit. I just can't stand all the nagging I did to myself! I'm sure if you can get past the first 3 or so days you will start to feel great physically and more importantly MENTALLY! I notice that I immediately started to feel better. Here's me chearing you on!

      Forget about the whole 3rd time thing! It's just a restart and most all of us have had one. Don't beat yourself up...It give sthe food too much power and we all know where that gets us!

      Welcome back! You're gonna do great!
