    Wetsuit Woes

    SO LET ME TELL HOW HARD I AM KICKING MYSELF IN THE BUTT RIGHT NOW... I STARTED ATKINS FOR THE FIRST TIME BACK IN APRIL '03. HAD GREAT SUCCESS. FELT AWESOME. WAS STARTING TO LOOK PRETTY GOOD. THEN FOR REASONS UNKNOWN I FELL OFF THE OL' BANDWAGON. FAST FORWARD TO, WELL, NOW. IT'S BEEN OVER FOUR YEARS AND I HAVE PROBABLY LOST AND REGAINED 200 LBS. NO JOKE. I COULD HAVE BEEN AT MY GOAL WEIGHT TWICE OVER! UGH!! I FEEL LIKE SUCH A FAILURE. NOW, TO ADD INSULT (SELF-INFLICTED, OF COURSE) TO INJURY... I'VE KNOWN FOR ABOUT 8 MONTHS THAT MY BEST FRIEND AND I ARE GOING ON A SHARK DIVE IN THE BAHAMAS AT THE END OF JUNE. HELLOOOOOOO...WETSUIT REQUIRED! I'M REALLY NOT PREPARED TO SEE MYSELF IN A SKIN-TIGHT, FULL LENGTH, LIGHT REFLECTING, AND COMPLETELY UNFORGIVING WETSUIT.... OH WELL. MAYBE IT WILL BE THE WAKE UP CALL I REALLY NEED. I JUST HOPE THE SHARKS DON'T MISTAKE ME FOR A LARGE PEICE OF CHUM... BUT, ON A HAPPIER NOTE... I DO HAVE TWO CLEAN INDUCTION DAYS UNDER MY BELT. I'M FEELING BETTER PHYSICALLY ALREADY! WISH ME LUCK AS I ATTEMPT ONCE AGAIN TO GET OUT OF MY OWN WAY AND FINALLY GET HEALTHY.WHICH REMINDS ME OF A PRAYER... DEAR GOD, I HAVE A PROBLEM... IT'S ME! THANKS FOR READING MY LITTLE RANT... HAVE A GREAT DAY/NIGHT! ~CHRISTY

      Hi Christy Welcome.... I think the most important thing to focus on is the NOW.. We all have been on so many diets in the past..and I should have been at goal weight a zillion times before... But I didn't.. But this time its working... You can do it.. Each day that you stay with it th easier it will be

        Hi Christy.

        I really enjoyed your post. You have an awesome sense of humor. Thanks for giving me a giggle this morning.

        I think Sandy said it best. Stay in the now. Just work it one day at a time or one hour at a time and pretty soon it becomes a way of life. It just really!!! sucks until that habit is created.

        Welcome aboard!!!

          Wet suits have great designs, the colours give you shape and when you add the tank if you go scuba you'll look great - everybody does. The thing is I found it to be a real advantage to be skinnier if you go underwater. The fatter you are the more weights you have to use to keep you down. Flat floats.

          I hope you have a terrific time and be careful around those sharks. Remeber in other countries the safety precautions aren't anywhere as strict as they are in the US or Canada.

                  THANKS FOR THE ENCOURAGEMENT EVERYONE! MY NEW WETSUIT CAME IN THE MAIL YESTERDAY. I THOUGHT I WAS GOING TO HAVE TO USE SOME KIND OF LUBRICANT TO GET IN IT, BUT WAS PLEASENTLY SURPRISED WHEN NONE WAS REQUIRED. ALSO, I WAS SHOCKED TO NOTICED THAT IT'S ACTUALLY PRETTY SLIMMING (AND A LITTLE SEXY ). I AM SOOOO RELIEVED. WELL, NOW I'VE GOT FOUR GOOD INDUCTION DAYS DOWN. I'M FEELING VERY DETERMINED, MOTIVATED, AND UNSTOPPABLE RIGHT NOW. I HAVE ALREADY DECIDED TO POST SOME PICTURES FROM MY VACATION IN MY SIGNATURE FOR FURTHER ACCOUNTABILITY/MOTIVATION. TAKE CARE, GUYS! ~CHRISTY
