I Guess I'm Atkinized
After going on numerous diets and failures, In June of 2003 I studied Atkins and lost a whole me (161 pounds). Then after a year or so, I started to carb creep with treats and gained 37 pounds. Got my head out of the clouds the end of Feb. 2007 and went back into induction. I am now 6 pounds away from my low. Feel great, Tons of energy, Lost my asthma, Sleep apnea and a multitude of aches and pains. I use to step out the door in NYC in the summer and sweat all day.
For those starting, Imagine living with no cravings or hunger pains and continue to lose weight. If you study the book and dedicate yourself to go the course. Weightloss and lifechange will happen. I am continually asked, If I was to go off Atkins for a special meal or treat, What would it be. I can honestly say, I cannot think of one high carb item i would grab. I have not had pasta, bread, rice, etc. Since 2003, When i fell off atkins, I hit the Ben & Jerries, Now I gladly go to the freezer for loved ones and prepare thier treats. without temptation.
They say you have to be at your lowest low to make serious change. In 2003 at 324.5 pounds, Unable to walk more than 15 feet, I reached it.
99% of weightloss was mental for me, Controlling my thoughts is the key to success for me.
We're bombarded with commercials and ads everywhere, Ignore them. I have found restaurants to be extremely cooperative. Atkins is not expensive. In fact, It's alot cheaper than junk food, When grocery shopping.
I no longer eat because I'm sad, happy or stressed,
Now at 169, I am so grateful to Dr. Atkin's. This trully has become MY "Way of Life". I pray everyone succeeds!
