    Musts

    I must weigh myself. I don't do it hourly or daily but I need to weigh once a week. I appreciate people who've gotten away from the scale but it's really a motivator for me. Knowing that "weigh day" is just around the corner has kept me on the straight and narrow before and it'll work again.

    I must follow Atkins by the book. That means no sugar free crap, no frankenfoods, no nuts during induction, no extra cheese, no peanut butter. These things cause cravings and I consume more carbs than I should

    I must exercise. What else is there to say to this?

    I must not make excuses. "Just this once" doesn't cut it.

    I must use ketostix. Ok, well, this really isn't a "must" but they sure are motivating for me. I have been known many times to pass up a cheat so I don't throw myself out of PURPLE.

    I must use a food journal. Whether it's online or on paper, I need to write down what I eat.

    Tomorrow is a brand new day.

    Re: Musts

    Kelly, I love those! Thanks for writing these musts. They are also musts for me.

    I'll add that I also must stop thinking that one taste testing bite of bad food is acceptable!

      Hey Kelly, it looks like a great way to build a firm FOUNDATION. I have a list of "musts" too, and they really really help me. Knowledge is power, and knowing what you MUST do is important

        I must drink at least 100 ounces of water per day. That's not a lot. It's five 20 ounce bottles of water. (I just fill them up with tap water.) Water flushes me, hydrates me, and makes me feel full.

          I must remember who I am and why I'm here so that I don't let outside distractions veer me off course.

          Thanks Kelly. Great post!

            Re: Musts

            I'm trying to figure out how to word this but

            I must have a goal/something to look forward to...

            The past couple of days I've been reconnecting with some friends from high school--20 years ago--and we've decided to go off for a weekend this summer.

            I can visualize what I want to look like and I think it's attainable.

              I must stay close to this forum. Silly, but it keeps me motivated.

                Oh I agree. I strayed and am paying the price.

                It's not about the results. Its about the process.
