OK is this the STAC or the SLAC forum?

[Barb1965]

It's 5:00 and no check-in post for today on the STAC forum, must be a first.

Well I'm here and accounted for. And actually had some deep thought on things today. I fell off the wagon on Sunday, and I didn't come clean about it. I thought to myself, no big deal, I'll just get right back on and nobody will know the difference (except maybe those of you who have noticed that my weightloss ticker hasn't moved since the weekend).

But then today, as keto breath was sinking back in and I was contemplating if that darn scale was gonna have moved when I get on in the morning, it occurred to me.

I'm a member of the STAC club because I haven't gotten it through my thick skull yet. I half tell myself I want things to change. But in reality. I DON'T want things to change, I want to keep doing the same old things and get different RESULTS. And it's so funny because one of my sayings I've always said to my kids is "You can't do things the same way and expect to get different results". So why did I think it would work for me? Why do I think that I can continue eating and not excersing the way I have for the past 10 years and still loose weight and feel and look better? Why do I think I can keep on smoking, and expect to build the stamina for exercising the way I want?

So my message for today for myself and others who find themselves in the same position is - Don't expect different results from doing things the same old way. Change has to start on the inside before it can truely be achieved.

Oh well. I refuse to give up on myself.

And, the other times I did Atkins, I stayed on for well over 7-8 months an dI never exercised once. I am GOING to eercise as soon as I'm in ketosis, he says to wait in the book, and I'm excited to start!!!

Hey All, now that school has started I have much less time to hang out on here! Almost done with TOM, will be weighing on Oct 4, can feel there's less of me even without weighing. The monthly cycle thing did indeed mess with my head, I had to do a lot of self talk, a lot, but I did a pretty good job of mitigating, didn't eat exactly right every day (like one day ate a whole can of pumpkin and not much else!) but also kept pretty close to the mark and I'm eager to see what the scale says on Sat. Also started yoga class, what a boost! Having a lot of fun getting my "kit" together each day to take to school, all the good food and snacks, it's funny the looks I get when I take out my snacks and start eating red pepper strips while all the decades younger girls are eating chips and pop. Oh well, maybe they will see and learn.
