Hey STACers, this community is so tight right now! Focused and thriving...
This morning I told my 15 yr old that in jan she needed to lead herself alot more and that she could not count on me carrying her on my back, in Jan and Feb. I will not be there giving a huge amount of direction or motivation. She'll need to motivate herself, get herself to exercise, continue to building meals for herself.
She will have to equip herself with the knowledge of this program and how to put hereself in the best possible place with it...Knowledge will streamline her eating and put her in a better place to loose weight...but she'll have to figure that out herself, because the "teen brain" has stopped really listening, and has not equipped itself. Its that place of struggle and ownership all teens have to go thru on their way to adulthood.
I explained, here with Atkins, "KNOWLEDGE IS POWER" as Joan Oh said,
"YOU CANT SORTA DO ATKINS"...We all know this here at STAC, we are have tinkered with the diet and customized it RIGHT OUT OF EFFECTIVENESS...which is why we are all back, promising here publically to DO IT RIGHT THIS TIME...We work hard at sharpening our steps, drinking our water and "exercising this time"...Then when we start to see results, we get all the more motivated and inspired...I say all the time, this is a specific plan, geared tightly to Ketosis, and staying in Ketosis, to you are burning your own fat, assisting it with water and exercise...creating the results we are dream of.
After all I know for me, I can customize myself right out of ketosis...My "little addict" is locked up, and I want to keep her pinned behind the bars of knowledge...I know her well, and all her little whispers, "just one bite won't kill you"..."come on just today, you can eat it and just exercise more"...
"you need a rest, why not take a couple of days off from exercising and drinking all that dang water!" Knowledge of the past and present reminds me to not to listen to her little whispers... especially at this time of the year where a slip, will take me right into foods I can no longer control in my life.

The only thing I have not brought myself to do is drop down to 15 grams of carbs to see if that will stir a weight loss. I'm on BP meds and recently have had to double up on my daily dosage. It's not that I'm content with the weight I've lost, but I'm not hyped out; I'm in total control. I'm content with that. Have a great day everyone!

I had to fight with the little addict to stop talking while I was doing my WATP. She just kept on and on about how tired I looked. Blah. Good thing I didn't listen to her.
You're doing the right thing by not giving up on yourself. I want to hear all about how you sweated in spin class tonight.
