Unique's first weight loss

[uniquehall]

I am walking on clouds and I have only lost 2 pounds within the last 1 1/2 days. I just started Atkins and already I am truely amazed. I know that I am a newbie but I was so shocked that I literally weighed myself 6 times this morning (I weighed myself 4 times 2 days ago). Yesterday was hard for me because I am a sugar junkie but I refused to give in to my cravings. My husband and children begged me to just eat a little ice cream with them and start over today on atkins and I did not give in. I drank a glass of water and walked away from the kitchen and closed myself inside of my room until all the ice cream had been eaten. I know that it is only a small step, but I am so happy and I just pray that I can stay on this course.

Good for you! That took real strength to go to the bedroom until the ice cream was gone. Way to go for sticking to your guns!

Good job, that's awesome. Make sure you reiterate to your family how much you need their support and although you know it's because they love you and food is how they express that love, you don't want them to sabotage your efforts. Maybe you could freeze a bit of fresh whipped cream with some sugar free vanilla extract?? Then you could have a LITTLE bit of a treat with them and wouldn't have to leave the room. Just an idea.

I'm like you though, some days when it's a big drop I keep hopping back on the scale just to be sure. It's like I can't believe something is finally working!!
