  • 2nd Time Around

    Hi Everyone, it was HARD for me to post here in this location as a second timer because it was as if I had to admit I FAILED the first time. But it's ok, today was my first day back 11/23/07 and GLORY TO GOD I MADE IT! I didn't cheat and I wasn't starving. I know that in order for me to succeed at this WOE, I must plan ahead. I am just excited to know I am doing something my new doctor endorses and has actually lost 86lbs on herself.

    Last week she recommended that I go back to eating the Atkins way. I originally stopped because I listened to others down this WOE and stress how people only regain the weight. So like before I went back to trying WW, Slimfast, low-fat and GOT BIGGER. I was so hungry on SF and didn't have the patience for WW. I like the Atkins WOE and I know it works. This time I am sticking to it FOR ME. Who cares what others say. Most of them that run their mouths and say negative stuff aren't almost 100 lbs overweight and dealing with health issues as a result.

    So I will be reaching out to you all on here for support. I will need it. Thank in advance and bless you.

      Welcome back!

      Notice it is called Second Time Around Club...you are not alone at all! Ignore the negativity from people & stay focused on what works for you. This is your journey to health & yours alone. It is wonderful that you have a doctor who is supportive to this WOE/WOL!!

      ADBB is a great place for support, encouragement, knowledge & friendship. Start a journal where you can write out your feelings, vent, celebrate & hold yourself accountable. Join a few challenges...a great way to meet people & help in your journey.

      Again welcome!

        Don't feel bad FLSunshine, I have restarted way more than twice. And as easy as it would be to sabotage ourselves about where we could be by now, we should give ourselves a pat on the back for where we know we are going. I recently restarted myself, and it hasn't been easy, but it gets easier everyday. I know with all the support here it will be easier this time. Good Luck, I know you will do well.
