Oh My God What Happened

[smile_22]

Last Year On May 16 I started the Atkins Diet. I did the diet faithfully for 4 months and I even lost 70 lbs. but After the four months I fall off the wagon and started the way I used to. I have gained back 45 lbs. and I'm so depressed I hate the way I look and I fell like sh*! and I have no energy. I loved the Atkins Diet and I told everyone about it. Why did I stop so I'm restarting today. If I would have stayed on the diet I would have so reached my goal by now. So it's all up to me now, I'm the only one who can change me. So wish me good luck this time.

I know the feeling I have done it too. I lost 36 pounds in 4 1/2 months 3 years ago. My knee pain was gone. Then I got pregnant and lost it completely after the baby was born. By the time I got back to work I had hip and knee pain like never before. So I went back on Atkins and before I knew it the pain was much better. But I fell off again and got back in pain again and was thinking why am I doing this to myself? I feel so much better on Atkins even if I don't lose a pound. That alone should be reason enough. Anyway I'm back again as my signature line says for the bazillianth time. This time for good. I'm not losing very fast this time but that is expected I guess for as many times as I have had to start over. Just doing the best I can and not being hard on myself saving that for those friends of mine that keep wanting me to eat things that are not on plan. Why do people push so much for you to just have a little and say "A little won't hurt you" YES IT WILL!!!!! I had to jump a freind this morning who instisted I should have went to the church picnic yesterday. Told her to STOP pushing me to do things I don't want to do. LOL Finally I'm standing up for myself and taking care of myself.

Yeah, I would've been at goal by now too had I not screwed up. It kinds blows knowing that. BUT...we just start again and move on with more determination. I am more determined now than I ever was and I know that I can do this. So can both of you!

Cheryl, good for you for sticking up for yourself. People don't seem to understand that a little taste WILL hurt and that's part of what got us here in the first place.
