I'm Back.... Day 1

[Tinytulip]

Well today is day 1 for me all over again. I just never can seem to do the whole 14 days. I took some months off because I kept failing. I have had time to reflect on why I kept sabbotaging my diet. I think this time I will be able to keep on it. I will be posting everyday just so I can be accountable for my actions. I hope that everyone has a fantastic day.

Welcome back to this WOL! You can do this, I know you can!!!

It is hard in the beginning but I realized one thing these past 2 weeks...I can either a) eat low fat and starve and lose hardly any weight, if any and not have anyyy things I like b) continue to eat what I want and just keep getting bigger, or c) compromise....eat delicious variations of my favorite foods and eat wayyyy more than I can on low fat, and lose weight. Super easy once I put it to myself like that! lol

I know you'll be able to do this. I'm rooting for ya!

Re: I'm Back.... Day 1

Hi and welcome back -- Here is a little information to refresh your memory and help get you going again. Check the STAC Second Time Around Club - Atkins Diet for additional support. We also have challenges for members to join, some are exercise related and some aren’t. Also start a journal and post your thoughts along the way.
Check the stickies (information posts) at the top of the induction page - http://www.atkinsdietbulletinboard.com/forums/atkins-diet-14-day-induction/ – it’s an easy way to answer questions you may have if you can’t find your copy of the book.


The shakes and bars are NOT legal on induction because of their - eat a variety of foods off the acceptable food list, (making sure you get your fats, carbs and protein in daily), drink a minimum of 64 ounces of pure water (nothing added), take supplements and exercise.

Check the recipe sites also - they are very helpful and will help make your meals so much more enjoyable. Make sure you are using induction recipes until you move on to OWL (ongoing weight loss)

TT< I too had some false starts. This last time I made the same commitment to Atkins and posting here was a big help. There is a lot of support here, all you need to do is ask. Best wishes for a great start.

Re: I'm Back.... Day 1

So what did you decide while reflecting on why you kept sabotaging you diet?
