hello STACers!!! i've been around the boards for a few years now, and have been on again off again for oh......i've lost count how many times. so here i am once again, admitting that i gained all the weight back that i lost last time plus i found a few of their friends too. i've been basically miserable lately, but the last two weeks or so i've been kinda watching my carbs. i haven't actually started back at induction level yet, but i know at some point i will need to in order to really start the weight loss process. i am no longer buying any junk foods, but i have been buying some things from the lower rungs of owl. i have eaten only 2 meals in the last 2 weeks that one would consider non atkins friendly meals.
i'm at a point right now that i know i need to stop my destructive eating habits but i just can't seem to get geared up for induction so for now i guess will just stick to eating low carb. i already feel a whole lot better physically and emotionally than i did when i was eating all the high carb foods.
i think the worst for me was that i started noticing that i was beginning to hoard food. my biggest weakness is Reese's cups. i'd buy a bag of them and they'd be gone in a day sometimes within a few hours. i found myself on an occasion recently buying the king size packs that were on sale at the local gas station 2 for $?. then hurring up and eating one pack before i got home so that DH wouldn't know. then i'd share the other one with him. it hit me the last time i did it that that's what i was doing and made me wonder exactly how many times in the past i've done the same thing.
i know that i'm not going to lose much weight right now since i'm not starting with induction. i'm not really worried too much about that for the moment, i know however, that i'm eating alot healthier and still getting a lot less carbs in than before i made the decision to stop eating all the junk. i hope no one will fault me or think bad of me for not starting with the induction phase right away, like i know i should. please understand that i know i'm not beginning the plan exactly as DR. Atkins intended, but i am eating low carb, healthy foods. it took alot for me to take the steps i have taken at this point and time. maybe there's something that's just not clicked in my head this time, but for now this is the best effort i can muster. i know i will eventually do atleast a 2 week induction and then begin moving up the rungs as Dr. A intended.
i wanted to stop in and reintroduce myself to the boards and share a little bit of my story. this board has always been a big help in the success i've had in the past. i just have to keep myself involved and motivated and see this through for life this time.
thanks for taking time out to hear me and my ramblings,
