So, here we are again, another go around. I keep feeling like I havent lost anything, but Im just starting week two. I admit it, I cheated once, and I have no idea why. I am actually beginning to feel like I dont HAVE to eat. Before I went back on Atkins, I was constantly feeling like I needed to eat, and I would do so until 4am. Now, I just ate one hamburger patty and less than a cup of squash, and I feel so full, I cant move. Heh. I guess thats good, since its less than half of what I would eat before.
I decided to get back on Atkins earlier this year, when I went to Boca Raton, FL to visit my father. My weight had gotten back up to 335 (from about 320), and I went down there for three weeks. He is a religious follower of Atkins, keeping his carb intake down to less than 30g per day (everyday, he doesnt really follow the phases), and so when I was with him, I made him put me through "Boot Camp." When I came back, I was back down to 325, and it has gotten lower from there. I am now hovering between 315 and 318, back to the lowest it has been in 3 years.
I have a cruise coming up in exactly one month, and I wanted to be under 300 for that, but now I have lowered my goal to under 310. Thats about 5 pounds to goal, and Im pretty motivated. It has been so swelteringly hot lately, that I have skipped out on exercise, which is bad and has slowed my weight loss down.
Im still stuck in that mentality of wanting the weight off NOW. I've been discouraged alot lately, because my doctors scale says Im still at 326, even though my usual scale says 318. It makes me kinda insecure, I suppose. Im also still battling with the fact that I do weigh over 300 pounds, and I dont want to leave the house because Im tired of the jeering and insults. Its hard to be this big at 21 (though not as hard as it was at 17).
So, now Im back here, hoping to find support and a place to keep me on track. Thanks for listening, everyone.
