I know many of you can relate to the day you wake up and say, "I can't do this any more, I've got to change my ways and get this weight off. I am so sick of being sick of myself"....
I've had many of those days, and my last official one was on July 31st 2006. I said, "this is it, tomorrow I am changing". I grabbed for my Atkins diet because I knew then that it would really work for me. I could get moving in the direction I want, PRETTY FAST! I would see RESULTS PRETTY FAST...
But at that moment I also knew that if I did not stay on it I would be right back there....fat, out of control and very unhappy with myself.
All through induction which I had not done for 3 yrs, I suffered such headaches, but that meant the detox was working....I made it through the week and then the hunger disappeared and the energy clicked in and I was soaring high!!!
Then the new thought appeared in my thinking, "I CANT DO THAT AGAIN"...I can't give in and quit, I can't do too much burn out and Quit"
I can't afford to quit this all over again! I can't do the things that make me want to quit either, no "over kill"...
I came to the reality that I do have a metabolic tendancy to be overweight.
Because Atkins works so well, it highlights my metabolic tendancies. If I leave low carb-ville I GAIN MY WEIGHT BACK...BECAUSE I HAVE A PROBLEM OR TWO WITH FOOD ADDICTION AND METABOLIC TENDANCIES...
pg217 of DANDR states at the opening of a paragraph, "YOUR METABOLIC TENDANCIES ARE NEVER CURED"...for me, this is true because if I stop Atkins I gain everything back and more!
The light bulb went on this past year, I can't go back for many reasons. I do gain weight back. I've gained some weight back as I've allowed higher levels of carbs back in...now. I am seeking to get those carbs back down to a level that allows me to safely loose again.
If you are here for the second or umpteeth time, maybe it's time to look into
the deeper reasons you have gained weight back. Maybe looking at your metabolic tendancies rather than seeing this as a quick fix diet would be a consideration you should take the time to consider. Atkins is NOT a Crash Diet, see pg 223-224 "The Wrong Way To Do Atkins".
Maybe not this week, but maybe next week when you start to feel right again, feel alive and thriving again, and when the hunger slows down and the energy picks up...Maybe right then and there you should face some deeper things.
I don't know about you, but I am out for real change. Deep change. I don't want to leave here again and say I'm back....for one thing, I know I wouldn't be back for a long long time. So, I'm not leaving.
I am not leaving again, I am staying here and finding my way. My body just cannot take another 85lb weight gain. Can yours?
