  • Reinducting on induction.....AGAIN

    Well Hi.... Im Back. I am going to reintroduce myself, probably for the 10th time now. Been lurking around the LCCB with the lovely unforgettable Cleochatra, but Ive decided I need to be here. NO BAD CARBS allowed.... Ive done this WOE before and lost over 30 pounds in just over a month. My lowest weight was 185, now I am back up to 209 In the recent months Ive had alot of bummers in my life..... First I found out I have MS (well they think) after being poked, proded and mri'd a thousand times, thats their diagnosis. Have only had one real episode, so Im still in doubt. Taking Avonex, dont know if I really need it.....
    I have bad asthma, had two attacks recently and was hospitalized, all of this of course right before i was to leave on a plane to Jamaica. Just got back from what shouldve been a glorious vacation, instead I was a miserable wreck and ruined the whole vacation for both myself and my husband. I felt fat in everything with all the skinny people running around feeling good having a good time. I guess that is what it took for me to realize that Ive got to change the way I live to change the way I look. Now, Ive come back and forth a million times, but this time I want to stick to it. I need to stick to it, for my health and my sanity. I think my pics are still on here.... Its me at 205, I probably still look the same, but I feel 100 pounds heavier. I think with the meds, the stress and everything else my self esteem has gone to a ZERO. I felt good at 185, I will feel even better at 165.

    So Once again, ill ask for everyones help. I want to do a clean induction, restarted my fitday account, and even posted in the journal. I plan on doing it each and everyday and exercising, in some shape or form EVERYDAY.

    Its about 1245 here, and no cheats yet....... Have had bacon, eggs, radishes, cucumbers and lots of water. I plan on going strong..... I miss this board, and Im glad to be back. Im going to try one day at time, not worry about tomorrow, because when I do that, I fall.......and fall hard.

      Oh..believe me...if you want to do a clean induction, girl...you've got to get into the next bootcamp!!! It's TOTALLY changed how I understand and feel about this WOE!! I did a complete 180 and there stands a happier, slender-er, more energetic ME!! Read the boot camp thread, do what you have to do in preparation, and just continue on your current way till it starts...lots of hugs...

        Welcome back to our ADBB family Shashee
        Wondering how to get 'most' of your net carbs from your induction veggies?
        Take a look at the thread from the latest Veggie Challenge to see how others manage it!

          Welcome back Shera.
          You are a exceptionally beautiful woman at any weight.
          Your husband is a lucky man.

          With all the skinny people running around feeling good having a good time


          Those of us whom struggle with our weight have a tendency to equate skinny-ness with happy-ness. However, skinny people haven't cornered the market on happiness. It is an open commodity available to one and all.

          One does not have to be skinny to be happy. Happiness is a choice that we can make for ourselves right this very moment. Personally, I think it is essential to choose happiness in the now - I think it helps a person adhere to the Atkins way of life.

          I know that if I'm shaming myself, berating myself, or guilting myself I do not feel empowered and I will sabotage my diet. But if I love myself, if I open myheart to the beautiful person I am in this moment, my ability to stick to the program expands.

          How we talk to ourselves is so important. There aren't fat people and skinny people. There are just people and we all have hardship and bad days and problems. And we all have the right to love ourselves and be happy now.

          Be happy now. Be proud of yourself now. You know what to do. You will do it.

          Part of the healing process is losing the extra weight we carry in our heads. Whats nice about that is there isn't a waiting period to dump that weight.

          It happens in the moment when we stop judging ourself and others and just allow ourselves to value and love who we are in this very moment.

          We are all sparkling balls of shiny light and worthy of our own love.

              Tired - Thank you very much, and I will keep reminding myself each every second of the day why I am doing this, hopefully I can make it through...And thank you for the compliment.... Everyone always says im such a pretty girl....Well I keep saying, if I was thinner, what would they say.. Hopefully Ill find out.

              Eizellen- Thank you so much, It feels good to be back...

              Artangel- Ill check it out, Ive always wanted to do a bootcamp just never stuck aroun dhere long enough to participate in one!

              Tabekat- WOW what a great post. You made me smile!!! Its so great to have the support of individuals on this board. Thank you so much for the encouraging words and your so right its how I see myself. My friends and my husband always say im fine the way I am, im beautiful..... But I think people can tell you that all day long, but until you FEEL fine and think YOUR beautiful its going to go in one ear and right out the other. Im going to be strong, try to stop judging myself and start loving myself.... I am sure once I accept who I am now, and who I WANT to be, then ill be on the road to victory..

              Your all awesome, Thank you very much

                  Shera, welcome! I want to stay in contact with you...my best friend was diagnosed with MS the week before Christmas--was in the hospital in fact on Christmas Eve getting the steroid drip for it. She also has diabetes and high cholesterol and I'm trying to get her to go on Atkins with me! Her neurologist recommended South Beach to her (I think because she's so hyper about the cholesterol problems). I haven't gotten her to do it yet..but I'm still hopeful. Maybe if we can get you up and running strong, she'll have someone who does have the same problems she can talk to!

                    Just a comment about the boot camp forum. It's not an open forum. It's only available to recruits who get accepted into boot camp.

                        valid - that would be good, its always a good motivater if someone else has the same problems and is doing well. hopefully i can do good and you can tell her about my progress. I will keep ya informed how the MS symptoms go. My dr also recommeded a low carb diet, i think on ebecause the weight will come off faster, high amts of sugar arent good for the MS and plain and simple being heavy doesnt help you with the disease so please keep in touch, now I have even more motivation!

                        harryback-thankyou. im trying to stay positive, but its hard sometimes. hopefully with the weight loss what little symtpoms i do have will disappear......maybe ill be lucky and in the summer when im retested and what the spots in my brain may disappear

                          Welcome back, and I hope you were exaggerating about the "no carbs" stuff because Atkins isn't a "no carbs" diet.
