Good morning STACers...
You know today is my 139th day. All the days blend into each other, and the food sorta blends into each other. I eat routinely, without much thought unless faced with a diffferent scenerio. We had a party, I ate early so I would be comfortable...and a special diet drink in hand, should I feel the need for a treat while watching others eat great things. But things sorta blend. My weight is up 2.5 lbs. It's rare that it does that, but I am focused and organized, so what goes up will come back down. It doesn't make my clothes feel tight, doesn't change what I will be doing at all today...So, no big deal.
Yesterday I read some of my DANDR book. Keeping myself in the book is a huge important part of my focus! I want to be thriving and successful on Atkins Jan 1, 2007. It's a huge date, and topic in my list of Goals...When I start the new year, i want to feel on top of it all!
Ch 21 in the DANDR, has a wonderful section, "Teach Yourself, Lecture Yourself, Habituate Yourself"
"I want you to figure out how doing Atkins has benefited you; then I want you to use that knowledge as a form of self-empowerment."
But how about this, are you walking in the self-empowerment that the knowledge and experience of Atkins can give you. We've all been here done this before, but are we blending in to the landscape, or are we popping up and out of the ruts and routines, using our knowledge and experience to bring us to new places of empowerment?
Atkins has lifted me to another place, a successful place, successful OVER FOOD and I feel empowered from this place for other things in my life.
My neighbor Bonnie a diehard WeightWatchers fan, and expert, is watching me daily since I began, we met the day I began. i am basically about to be 50lbs down, and now we exercise together...and she is questioning years and years of lowfat living, this thought of eating high fat and loosing weight is baffling her. She is peaking around my life and my energy and my lack of need to eat cookies and treats at gatherings. She is baffled by my composure and committment. I have tired to explain ketosis really keeps me very sane and distant from foods. I know about ketosis, because I keep going back and reading about it and that empowers my daily actions. There is nothing happening this season more important than staying focused with Atkins and knowing what I need to know to be self-empowered. No presents, no mall trip, no party, nothing more important than the routines and experiences in my healthy new life. Knowledge and empowerment, are you taking time to build that into your life, right next to the water, mayo, cream, meats and cheeses????
