  • Well they say the third times a charm ......

    Here I am sulking back with my tail between my legs its been along time and about +30 pounds since I was here last .
    I got on the scale this morning to find I'm at my highest weight EVER even higher that when I was preg with either one of my kids Arggg I am 5'1 and as of this morning an even 185 pounds I was only 181 at the end of my preg with DD !!!. So here I am and I'm ready to give it another try.
    I am so sick of being over weight and hiding from people I want to like my body again and not feel like everyone is looking at me and thinking "boy she got fat !" I want to feel self confident again I want to have more energy and feel healthy and I want to fit back into my old clothes ect...
    This WOL worked for me before and I hope it will again.

    I know I have to start enjoying what I can have food wise and not obsessing with everything I can't that's my biggest problem and the main reason I left this WOL before. Its so easy to talk myself into food and why its "okay" to eat all the junk I mean one little cookie cant hurt right ? Wrong !!! man can a persons mind play tricks with them and I'm sure before this first 2 weeks are over I will have to fight the selfdestruction side of myself more than once but I know the rewards of sticking with it will be far better than what will happen if I don't I just need to practice telling myself that during the cravings.

    I am sick with an ear infection at the moment and I wasn't going to start this WOL till I was better but then I realized that I was only using that as an excuse to keep eating the way that I am and once I get better I'm sure I would be able to come up with another excuse and another after that ... so today is the day ! NO MORE EXCUSES !

    I feel like I'm out of control with my eating and as of today I'm taking back hold of the wheel. I know its going to be hard I just have to learn to stick with it. I am ready this time and I know I can do it.

    You know I just reread what I wrote before I posted and reading this I would think I hard everything under control. I know what I need to do and how I need to do it so why is it I forget all of this during a craving ??? Why am I at the weight I'm at right now ??? Why do I fight myself over food ??? Why is it I feel the need to feel stuffed and not satisfied ??? Why is it so hard ??? .................. I hope I find the answer so that I can finally get control of my life again.

    So today is day 1 and I will weigh myself again next Thursday.

    Welcome Ante up, glad you joined STAC. We have some challenges going on and be sure to check in every day with Outback Jess, she usually post a good morning thread to get us all started.
    What foods to you really miss when low carbing and I'll bet someone will come up with a great alternative for you. What you find restrictive about this diet, I find the best part, the choises that we have.
    Again, welcome.

        Hey Ante,
        Ok girl, what are you going to eat today? Oh wait, hi welcome to STAC...I am jess. been here for 101 days...It's hard work, but friend you can do this.
        So, if you started today, fill me in on what you are going to eat today...
        Because it's amazing but today is the beginning of a new thing! You are are stepping up...Instead of worriing about "cravings" go out of your way to make a strong plan for just today, tomorrow and the next day...Pick some of your most favorite induction food...Get out the book and dust it off...Drink alot of water, it will help curb your appetite and it will give you something to complain about!!! and yOU will be so busy going to the bathroom, it will distract you...Get ready for some detox, maybe a little induction flu...get some advil or tylenol ready...
        Today everything changes, you are taking back your happiness, your self respect and your control...
        I did it, you can do, just for today...I think i gave myself steak the first night or was it shrimp!!!!
        Keep close and post, post, post!!!

          Thanks for the welcome

          My meal plan for today is

          Breakfast - Nothing

          Lunch - (my first meal on plan) 3 Scrambled eggs with sprinkle of onions.

          Supper - Chicken mushroom melt on a bed of romain lettuce OR Chicken wings with celery.

          Lots of water

          Already did my Walk Away The Pounds video

          Not too bad ......

          For the first week I'm not going to worry about my portions I'll work on that after induction.

            Welcome back Ante! Make sure you are drinking lots of water and eating your veggies - and enough food. The day looks kind of skimpy on food to me.

            Sounds like you have a great game plan in place. I wish I could answer your question on why we forget our plan during a craving. Its almost like a black-out process until your done with the junk - then guilt sets in. I feel your pain on that one. Just take it one day and one pound at a time. We can all do this!!
