I kinda fell off the wagon, then off this board and it's taken me 3 months to find my way back. After the holidays I tried WW but ate all my points and flex points before the week was up, I even tried vegetarianism. You can gain a lot of weight being a vegetarian! Something keeps me coming back to Atkins, I know it works but why oh why do I get weak and give up??? I have one small failure and it turns into a hundred and then I feel ashamed and throw in the towel! WHY DO I DO THIS?
Anyway I wanna try again to make this a WOE and not a diet and this is the BEST place I know for that support! I know I sound like a broken record but I really HAVE to do this! I've been reading posts today, collecting recipes looking at success pics over and over again...I gotta try again. I'm sick of living my life like this and I know Atkins works...as long as I work it. If it fails I have no one to blame but myself. What's more important to me? Having potatoes with my steak? Having rice with my brocolli stir fry? HAVING A WHOLE BAG OF DORITOES??? Or dying young? Or HATING ever single pic lately that I RUN from the camera? Or having jeans that don't leave me not only with a muffin top but a painful red mark? BEING HEALTHY? I wanna step out of my body and shake some sense into myself!!!! Please help!
I'm going to come to STAC roll call everyday to keep myself in check and if time allows read and post elsewhere on the board but at least check in on roll call if only to say hi and I'm doing fine. And walk at least 30 minutes a day on my treadmill. None of this "I don't have time" I find time to sit on my *** and watch TV for an hour or more, I think I can carve out 30 minutes to exercise!
I remember some of you wonderful people and hope y'all remember me but if you don't I look forward to reintroducing myself! AND...I look forward to being back at

Hi Yo Yo Girl! I sure do remember you too! Yes SHAME is a killer but it shouldn't be! I got "You on a Diet" for Xmas and even though it's not low carb it does have some good information in it. One thing that stuck with me is why we beat ourselves up and are so mean to ourselves when we make a mistake with our eating? The example it gave was a GPS system and when you make a wrong turn a pleasant voice says, "at the next exit turn around" and you do. You don't go driving for 3 hours (or in my case 3 MONTHS) in the wrong direction! Cuz if you did it would take you just that long to get back to where you were. Such a good analogy! Now I'm not at all giving myself or anyone an excuse to slip up but I think it's better to not beat oneself up if we do and just turn around at the next meal, maybe run an extra 10 minutes on the treadmill or whatever. I know that I have to stay on track fully and not have 1 french fry off my sons plate! But I do know that if and when that day does come where I make a mistake, I'm gonna get right back on board! I'm glad we're both back and I will keep checking in! I have to say, it's easier to fall off the wagon and stay off if you stay away from this board. I think that was a big mistake I made...
had I at least stayed at
