Guess Who's Back??

[sassy1]

To all my buddies.. sorry for just up and vanishing.. I hope you're all doing well in life, health and with Atkins.

I have missed you all!!

I see I have to redo my profile etc.. as it's all gone.. I'll work on it in the morning. It is my intention to restart this road in the morning.

I look forward to chatting with you all again, and catching up on how you're all doing. I also look forward to making some new buddies too.

Re: Guess Who's Back??

Thank you Jess, Sandy and Carlae for the w/b's How are you doing?

Hey Kelly, how are things with you? Things here are all in all going ok, but as for me and Atkins.. that's another story I started out so strong and was doing awesome, and then something happened and I lost my focus. Even after falling of track, I was maintaining my loss and had even lost a little more to my surprise when I weighed in on Jan.1st. I was so delighted.. I had gotten into a pair of jeans that are a size 11!!! Mind you.. the zipper wasn't done up, but the button was! LOL I have not worn a size 11 jean since 1993. It was my intention then to try to get back on track with Atkins, but it never happened for one reason or another.

It's kind of funny how things go.. it was a wedding last summer that forced my hand to start Atkins, as I was so disgusted when I saw myself in pictures. I couldn't believe that was me. I mean I knew wasn't tiny, but I just never really saw myself as being that big. It was also the first time I was meeting my dh's family. They seemed to love me all the same, but I felt ashamed and also felt like the biggest woman there. I have not seen dh's family since, and now we have another wedding to go to where I will get to see them one more time. I am hoping they will notice that I'm not the biggest woman there this time, and want so much to lose a bunch more weight before then.

I saw a video the other day that my dh took of me while we were at the driving range.. and OMG.. I look so gross (at least to me) that it shocked me back to reality of needing Atkins.. guess those Reese Cups don't agree with me So I weighed myself and took all my measurements.. I finally went up in both weight and in inches for the first time since July 18th 2008! I'm not thrilled with it, but at the same time feel it could have been ALOT worse, as I have not been following Atkins since Nov. 2008 and since Jan.1st 2009 have put back on roughly 8lbs. That isn't too terribly bad, considering all the crap I have been eating.. when I eat.

Anyways.. sorry for blabbing on and on lol.. I am trying to make Atkins my way of life again, but find it a huge challenge with working. That's where it all went down hill last Nov. I had started a new job and the next thing I knew, I wasn't following Atkins anymore. I am not 100% of the way there yet, but I'm starting to make some changes towards Atkins and lastnight my dh had an Atkins friendly dinner waiting for me when I came home from work at almost 10pm. I was surprised and very thankful, as I was soooooo hungry!! It was yummy. My biggest problem is the same as always.. I don't eat often at all, and when I do I don't always make the right choices on what to eat and I don't drink water.. I live on smokes, coffee, and my sugar free mints lol.. ~shaking my head~

Baby steps will get me back into those size 11 jeans and preferably with the zipper done up! hahaha Ok.. I've said more than enough for now.. I'll check back later..

Wishing you all the best in life, love and in loss's (weight that is)

Re: Guess Who's Back??

Well after one week of making the attempt of turning back on the Atkins road.. I am happy to say that I am down 5 pounds!

I am still not fully committed, but obviously the changes I have made thus far are having a huge impact. I need to get back into drinking ALOT more water, and eating ALOT more often but am struggling with that part. I also need to get back into taking the stairs at my place vs taking the elevator.

I'm hoping you all have had a great week, and that the Mom's out there had a wonderful Mother's Day yesterday! Here's to everyone having a terrific week
