Week 1 done :-)

[sporty]

I am so excited today is the end of week one for me. I can tell you I have no waivered or cheated at all. I have energy now, down 12.2 pounds and the cravings have stopped.

This might not feel like a big milestone for some but for me and a person who has always unhealthy it is big

I could not have made it this far without these boards and my hubby (love you!) sooooo thanks!

Re: Week 1 done

Ps I wanted to say this has been a tough week with temptations at work with baby showers, lunches etc but I did not waiver. I ate my prepared induction foods and kindly declined.

Here was a conversation had earlier today with a coworker (cw is short for that!)

CW: Boy you have lost weight
ME: Well 12.2 pounds to be exact
CW: What diet you doing?
ME: I am not doing a "diet". I just changed my lifestyle and decided to do the atkins lowcarb since my DH is a type 1 diabetic.
CW: Oh you buy into that crap?
ME: Have you actually researched and tried it?
CW: Well no
Me: Then how do you know what is crap?
CW: Ok bye!



I thought it was just quite funny. Folks have an opinion on something they have never read up on it. Oh well I just need to come up with some clever come backs I guess...

Re: Week 1 done

I actually had a former coworker I saw at a festival, recently, who is about 300 pounds tell me that Atkins doesn't work. She knew me when I was 500 pounds and I'm now 180. She then told me she was back doing Weight Watchers but hadn't lost anything. She was diving into a ice cream as big as my head while I was talking to her.

She told me that she did Atkins for a while, but she finally got sick of steak, corn and peas and carrots and didn't lose anything. Go figure! I guess she will want to wait for another few years to see if I keep the weight off before she takes the plunge.

Some people just want to take the hard road. LOL
