  • Why Why Why???

    Hi guys,
    Its late here now but I just had to come on and vent. I have been at this WOE for 6 days now and have only had Atkins friendly foods. I dont even have any cravings for anything I shouldnt have right now. I am starting to feel the positive effects so many of you speak of. I even peeped on the scale this morning to make sure and I have met my first mini goal. Will officially weigh in on Sunday though and report back here (Hopefully).

    I saw hopefully because right now I have no idea what the situation here will be like in the next few days. You see I live on the island of Jamaica and right now we have a Category 4 hurricane coming our way. Dean is projected to be Category 5 by the time it reaches us, and even if it goes off it path and go above or below us we will still be in a bad state. We are small and with the size of that thing coming we will be feeling it in a bad way.

    Now even though I have done what I can do I feel so unprepared. I dont want to think about the aftermath of this thing. I pray to God I am even alive to tell the story, but in terms of Atkins I also know it will be difficult to maintain what I have been doing. Atkins is not the most disaster friendly "diet".............water is usually scarce, meats cant be stored due to lack of electricity, stress may cause a person not to eat, not eat at the right intervals or may even cause over-eating. I am going to go for as long as I can go.

    I feel so guilty even writing this when nothing has happened yet, and especially after watching the news and seeing those infant coffins being delivered to Peru after their devastating earthquake. I cant help but wonder if they will be delivered to my country next. I am hoping and praying for the best and wish that just like all the others in recent times have made a turn away from us at the last minute, so will Dean.

    Thanks for your support guys.
