Re: Have found self love

Nyna, I am on induction, but I just cannot stay away from whip topping I no it is bad, but since giving up diet soda I get these major headaches and well I give my self a teaspoon of whip topping before I go to sleep to congradulated myself for a job well done and not caving into temptation. This weekend well Friday went out with my spouse we have not been out in a year so we went to dinner, and I had a Long Island Ice Tea I was buzzing it was funny then we went to cheesecake factory to have desert, well I had a piece of cheesecake that is made with splenda it was really good 11 net carbs. So that will be my monthly splurge. I will let me treat me out again in October for my birthday, but you no what is so funny that the next morning i felt so awfull so sick to my stomach and my hands and face were swollen. But I have gone to the dr to check to make sure health wise I am fine, so this is why I will only treat myself every couple of months. Here is to our health!

Love

Re: Have found self love

Sorry to hear about your headaches. They can make life miserable and make it hard to stick to your diet. I'm not sure what Atkins book says about them but I know I read it somewhere. I hope your feeling better today.

I have bad reactions to carbs too, and that helps me stay away from them. I get irritable and foggy headed, to the point that I can't stand myself and I hate that. Pasta is my worst enemy so I have been avoiding it like the plague.

Let me know how you're doing and don't give up because as long as we keep trying, we haven't really failed. It's only when we throw in the towel that we lose our way.

Have a great day!

Willlose, hopefully the headaches will go away soon! After I gave up caffeine I had the worst headache for a couple of days but then after that everything was so much better! You can do this!

Re: Have found self love

Nyna, well I must admit I caved in last night and had a half of can of diet sprite! So my headaches are kinda going away but heck my health is at stake here and what is a headache, look at all the wonderful reaps I will acheive once I hit my goal weight. That is the mind set I need instead of loofing about a headache. "NO PAIN NO GAIN!"-LOL
I have been wakin up late, so I did my morning routine here at work, my boss is great he knows how it is to be heavy and not happy with your weight, he is also reaching great health standards with himself he has lost some weight, so he is my star I look at when he comes in and I get positive energy from him.

Anyhow I did 40 pushups! Man o Man my arms are killin me but I got to 40!!!
22 bicycles and 20 crunches, need to get on that resistence training with my free weights and move into cardio. I know I would lose more inches that way but one step at a time so I dont wear myself toooo thin! Lets drink water water water!!!

Love
Yvette

Re: Have found self love

Hi Yvette, Congrats on your weight loss!!! Good going girl!!! I hope the headaches are gone too. And congrats on fighting the negative self-talk because that's the thing that keeps us from attaining our goals. I have to be very careful to recognize it because it is usually so subtle that it goes unnoticed and quietly sabotages my efforts and leaves me wondering what happened.
Hope you got the PM I sent you. Have a great day.
Love,
Nyna

Re: Have found self love

Hi all, Sorry I haven't been around for a few days. I've been off the diet and have gained a few pounds but am back on track now.

Aussieinaz, I tried replying to your message a few days ago but my computer got into a funky mode where it erased one letter everytime I typed another, so I gave up. I'm sure you will enjoy the books as they really are the answer to a lot of people's problems. They are my bibles. I hope you're feeling better today and losing again. We all have our bad days but as the books tell us, we achieve our goals by going forward, making mistakes then immediately correcting course. It's like watching a baby trying to pick up a rattle for the first time. Their hand zigzags back and forth until they grasp it. That's the way we all learn something new. We make mistakes but we don't give up. I overate yesterday but today I'm back on track again. I forgave myself, forgot about it,(no guilt) and now I feel better already because I know I've made it through a bad time without throwing in the towel.

I hope you all have a great day too.

Nyna
