i can't believe i'm back...

[Cobra Dan]

not that it's bad to be here... but i have once again fallen off the wagon. food addiction is a terrible disease and i truely believe it's killing me. i recently tried the Nutrisystem diet... and it works... but there is just too much variety in the way of different types of foods... my addiction cannot handle it.

i have decided i want back in with Atkins and i want to enroll in boot camp.

for those that recognize me here... i first did Atkins back in 2003 and was extememly successful, reaching my goal... but i deliberatly jumped right off the wagon in a depressed state when my relationship with my, at the time, girlfriend went sour... we are now married (should have stayed true to my diet lol)... I'm in the military and about the time i jumped off the wagon, i got stationed in germany... that was terrible for my well being and diet as well... 3 years later, i'm back in the good ol states and have access to any and everything.

sadly, i weigh more now than i ever have and i really am at rock bottom here.

how do i get into Boot Camp?

Hey there Cobra Dan, welcome back. It is a good feeling to know that Atkins works for you and that you will find success and peace with this plan.
Boot camp is held periodically, not weekly. Keep an eye on the Portal, it will announce when there is an up coming session and you will be able to apply.

Don't let anything stop you from getting started with induction, within the first week, you will go through induction flu, and rid your body of sugars and toxins that have to come out, and then you will enter into ketosis and there will be freedom from bloodsugar symptoms, fatigue, and headaches...your energy will start to soar, you will feel great, hunger will diminish and you will have clarity in the head!!! It's worth it to get there...

Hey Dan, welcome back! You did this before you can do it again.

I have gone through a very similar process, was very successful (but never quite made it to goal), had a stressful event (sick child), and have struggled ever since and am currently at my highest since falling off (although thankfully not highest ever). This does work, and it can be done, it's all in how much you want it.

Welcome back Dan

See if you can keep off that scale for the first 14 days this time so you dont get upset by the normal fluctuations we all get from day to day!!

Welcome back friend. We're all here for you. We've done the same thing, some of us less, some of us more, but nonetheless, we all need a little help sometimes. Good luck, and keep us posted!

Welcome back Dan. Its so nice to see you again and hear where you've been. I lived in Germany for 7 years, know the temptations and can visualize your struggle. But the good thing is you are back and know how good Atkins makes you feel and how great the food is on this program!

Another Boot camp is being scheduled...just keep checking to see when. We're all here for you, just get right back on plan and get active with the ADBB. You can do it!

Welcome back Dan! I remember you from when you used to post here. Getting back into the swing of things is hard but you can do it and it is so worth it. Hang in there and as always if you have any questions don't fail to ask, you know someone will be around to help you out.
