  • I'm ready to start again

    Hi.. I'm so excited to be here again..!!! I know this way of eating can work for me.. I lost 55lbs. back in 04 and then became pregnant and went back to my old ways.. lots of candy and garbage I had a very emotional pregnancy and now I weigh more than I did when I was 9 months pregnant..
    I've tried to get back on track few times.. but my friends and coworkers have talked me out of it.. telling me how moody I was before and how I smelled bad that really hurt my feelings...and has stopped me from going back on atkins...

    I'm scared about that...I'm a hairdresser and cant be that close to someone and worrying about smelling.. but I want to feel good again.. I want to be proud of myself.. I'm over 300lbs and I'm very scared.. I've been feeling very tired and my joints are killing me and I can't keep up with my 3 year old..

    So do I wanna be fat or do I want to stink .. I don't think I drank enough water last time to really help to flush out the toxins.. all I know is I'm tired of being fat.. tired of getting the dirty looks from others.. I want to be thin...I wanna feel good about me...

    Anyway ... I'm off to the store and I'm going to stock my cabinets and fridge and start first thing in the morning...

    hugs to all of you.. this board was so helpful to me last time.. It gave me inspiration and the will to keep going...

    I just had to get that off my chest.. I feel so good right now... I'm going to do this!!!!

      Welcome back! I am always paranoid about dragon breath too but just use a breath spray and drink loads of water!

      Good luck x

            You can absolutely do anything you set your mind to. Every time you think you can't, look at your beautiful 3 year old. That should be a huge motivator. Good luck and always come back here for support.

                Aloha Tracy,
                My story is like yours, and I'm on induction too. Good luck!
                I remember the bad breath and the BO, but now I crave to have that back because it means that I'm losing fat. I anxious for those symptoms to kick in again.
                I also remember that after the fat is off, and I was in maintenance that I didn't have those issues any more.
                I'm so hoping that I can get it going this second time.
                Water Water Water... it helped a load of these problems.
                Hula mom.

                  Hula .........Thanks
                  Yes I do think I didn't drink enough water last time... I gotta stop worrying about odor so much.. like you said it wont be forever..
                  It didn't start right out either it was when I was in extended induction for more than 3 months...I don't know I'm going to see how things go.. but I'm not going to let some dumb odor stop me.. oh no no no...

                    Tracy, I'm glad to have someone else starting with me! Let's hang in there and get through a clean induction.
                    Cheers,
