Ya know, I am so sick and tired of..

[lowcarbing4ever]

Saying I am doing this again!!! I really am. Once again, I am trying to get back on Atkins for the zillionth time! This time is going to be extremely hard because I am addicted to so much sugar and junk food, it is unreal. But I plan on using you guys for strength as much as possible, so you will see me whining on here soon. I am re-starting on this weekend, so be prepared for the crying and nashing of teeth! I wish they had a smiley that was tearing its hair out, I could use that one right now! LOL!

Best advice is to clean the cabinets. you cannot eat it if it is not there! I have a special cabinet for my stuff. I keep it stocked. My pitfalls is when I don't have foods to quickly make to take that hunger off. By day three I was ready to eat the dogs tail! After day 5 it stopped... keep foods on hand!

You CAN do it!

I'm sick of dieting and going back to my old way of eating too! Now that I've found Atkins and this board I'm going Atkins for life! I never want to crave carbohydrates or sugar again so that means no going back to the old ways of eating! Start ASAP and you will be free of your cravings in no time at all! The best support is here!

Re: Ya know, I am so sick and tired of..

One thing that's helping me a lot this time is making sure that I include a variety of menus. I got so tired of eating the same old thing all the time last time, totally forgot how hard it was to get started and decided I'd go "temporarily" off the plan over the holidays. How foolish I was! This website helped a lot to give me menu ideas with lots of variety http://users3.ev1.net/~fontlady/indu...ion_menus.htmlAlso, committing to journal, to keeping track of my eating and become accountable to others on the boards has helped a lot. Do check in and let us know how the weekend goes!

Re: Ya know, I am so sick and tired of..

Congrats for coming back!
I think a person just has to stop and think, is it really worth it? When you pick up that piece of forbidden food, just before you stick it in your mouth, ask yourself is it really worth it?(one bite never seems to satisfy) Does it even come close to the flavor of the foods you can eat with atkins? If you feel like you need something or your going to blow the diet try a mock danish. Or how bout that bacon? Good luck to ya!
