  • It's time...

    well, i'm back ladies and gentlemen. no one here will remember me but i was on these forums around this time last year. the only thing was, last year? i was about 10 kilos lighter and starting atkins. at that time, during the first one and a half weeks of induction i lost 19 pounds. 19 POUNDS! in a week and a half. unfortunately, i went into hospital for surgery and i came out fatter than ever. granted, some of the kilos ive stacked on since then have been my own doing (eating pancakes right before bed, what the **** was i thinking???) and now? now im heavier and miserable than ever.
    so im back, back with a killer instinct. i will do it, this time. non negotiable. im so tired of being overweight. im tired of feeling 'big' around everyone. i feel like everything i do right now is impeeded by my weight. i feel fat, i look fat, i am fat. but not anymore, the buck stops here.
    so im in my second day of induction and about to leave for a 20 minute walk (i figure in the beginning, i can manage a 20 minute walk a day, then step that up as i get lighter).
    ive heard all sorts of stories where atkins isnt as effective the second time around, so im prepared for some slower results. i wont be deterred, however. i will win this battle.
    one thing im keen on doing though, is not looking at the scales every five minutes. i figure im going to know what weight i want to be when i get there. ive got around 40 kilos to lose, but i refuse to be constantly motivated by the scales. im more keen on seeing my gargantuan belly disappear than getting all hung up about *exactly* what i weigh.

    so im back. im back here and i will do it this time. i wanted to shout it from the rooftops. so here i am, posting. at least putting this in writing up here makes me accountable.

          why thank you, miss! to be honest, the only thing thats going to be different (but it is enough motivation) is that i must do it. ive come to the end of the line. no more being complacent and lazy about attaining my goal. i dont want to be overweight anymore. its day two and the cravings have been moderate today and ive been mentally beating myself up saying 'youre weak if you cant even last two days'...
          this time around, my bf is doing it with me to support me. i cant let him, but more importantly myself down any longer.

          go team stella!

            {{{stella}}} Well, that you're already on day two and know the cravings are only bad if you cave to them, you're already getting there! I know the feelings of defeat because of feeling moments of weakness, but that's your brain trying to compensate for your blood sugar! The good news is that you are now a psychological warrior as well as a dietary one, and you know that your blood sugar says things rational people like us know are desperate! The first few days are all about the feeling emotional and wondering what will happen. The rest of these two weeks will start to feel like heaven pretty soon! Once those cravings completely leave it's such a feeling of power and enablement! After all, you had to be strong to stay away from those evil little carbies!
