    Tues Morning Roll Call

    Good morning STACers. Today I am up early and forcing the issue of Atkins UPON myself. Today is going to be a good day! Because I said so...
    Yesterday I overcame my own crazies and stayed strong through a storm of cravings...Because I was strong yesterday, I will be strong today. Because I have a vision of what I want from Atkins, I will be strong today so one more day molds me more!
    The day comes where it's not about weight loss any more, it's about maintaining the lifestyle and weighloss you have already achieved. It comes back to living life healthy and active with food issues settled in your life.

    For all my new friends I wanted to be here in a year...that was my biggest goal. I can loose weight, drink water and exercise, but I can't maintain weightloss. I end up getting bored and quit! I regain weight and quit exercising...So, for me and my personal vision, I wanted to be HERE IN A YEAR...
    I wanted to feel confident and controlled in my life. For some ungodly reason that control is being challenged daily right now and I am fighting for what I want....
    We all have to fight ourselves for what we want the most! Health, weightloss, confidence, control! We have to fight ourselves to make ourselves string a bunch of day and lifestyle together....then we have to maintain that lifestyle!!!!!! Goodness it's hard....Very very hard.

    Get a vision and fight for it!!!! (oh yeah, IT'S GONNA BE A FIGHT)

    Hey, Jess & Scooter,

    2 posts today woo woo.

    Jess, I know about the fight. Everything you said makes sense, because in reality, our old lifestyle is not about the food. It is about making changes.

    The success rate of those who view this as a diet and focus on the food is far less than those who embrace it as a lifestyle. Making changes is sooo hard. I am a sugar addict. I had to break my addiction and the obsession that goes with it. It is sooo hard, because you have to be patient and learn how to cope in your head.

    The vision of your one year to be here is awesome!

    For me, onward. I'm so glad I've decided to take care of me.

    Focus Focus, I'm gonna do it, no other option.

    Have a great day everybody!!!

      I was at the best buffet set up for a meeting I have been at for a long time. The salad bar was WAY separated from the other courses. I did not even have to look at the other stuff. It was perfect with all my favorite things. I say its going to be a good day too. Love that statement. So many things are a decision. Hope lunch today is set up the same way.

          Jess that is a great message for today!

          Turtle what a perfect way to start the day! When we went to Outback on Sunday it was great to see they had changed the way you order your sides. Now you get two sides instead of one, so if you want two salads you can get two salads! Which I did LOL! I'm sure the server thought my dinner of two salads and just a filet was wierd, but I ate it all and it was DELISH!

            Good morning!
            Good message Jess....time to clear our minds and get focused.
            And Buffy, that's so true what you say about the diet mind-set vs. lifestyle.
            In all reality I don't want to go back to eating 2 rows of cookies at once, then a bowl of ice cream, then a handful of chocolate chips....etc etc. I was driving home yesterday evening thinking about fried zucchini with parmesan cheese all over it and couldn't wait for that! ha ha.

            Have a great day!

                  Good morning all! Jess, great post. You are right, LOSING isn't the only battle, we also have to stay strong once we have LOST much of the unwanted weight. I am finding that this WOE is controlling my overeating tendencies in a BIG way....like others here, I would also eat '2' dinners sometimes, or find that 'dinner' consisted of grazing for a 4 hour period! I have to wrap my mind again around sitting down for a meal, and then it is OVER...not eating bites of every single thing that tastes good in my fridge.

                  I am THRILLED that this WOE encourages me to eat 'normally'....because my appetite is controlled, I have to sometimes remind myself that it is time to eat and I am rarely hungry between meals. Such a blessing.

                  Have great days!

                          Good morning!

                          I'm fighting the fight with you to stay in control of exercise...one of the many battles I'm sure most of us face everyday. I want to LOVE it. I want to LIVE it. I want to BE it...and not just WISH it. With that being said....I grumbled through my morning 50 crunchers and 20 minutes on the stability ball. I will LOVE it, LIVE it and BE it...instead of WISHing it (repeating that 20 times in my head this morning).

                          Have a great day, folks!

                            Morning Glory, I can so relate to eating 2 rows of cookies, ice cream and major sugar. I loved it when you said that now you dream of zuccini w/ parmesian.

                            What a difference, I can't wait to get there. I still crave some sweets at different times. But, now, I know for sure that it is for emotional reasons. Atkins takes care of my appetite, my cravings I think are emotional

                            take care,

                              Hello Losers!

                              I am all for changing to this lifestyle and being in it for one year. I think if we make a year's commitment it will be easier to really see that this is a way of life. I am about ready to do what another poster did this past weekend...run over my scale with my car (several times). For those who have lost some weight, well, I found it...gained a couple for no reason that I can see other than TOM is coming. If I avoided the scale I wouldn't know this and would be better off. I ate like a perfect Atkineer but gained. Anyhow, as I said yesterday...I feel awful when I eat carbs so I just won't. Period.

                              Here's to a new lifestyle day! (the first of 365) Let's all do good.
