  • Hello everyone! Back again.

    Hey, I'm back! For the past year I have been back and forth trying different diets and guess what? I always come back to the tried and true. The one that works for my body but I'm too stubborn to follow through and make it my WOE. Well, I am to the point where I don't have a choice anymore. I have got to stick with it and lose this weight. My blood sugar is out of control and I'm sick of feeling like a lump. I've never went back to my highest weight, but I'm not happy at all with where I am. Over this past summer, my bf and I went camping and I just remember how miserable I was in the muggy Pennsylvania summer heat. I was angry that I was afraid to climb down hills to remote fishing areas because I didn't know if I would be able to get back up. I'm tired of hiding myself from fun things because I'm too big. I hate always having to ask for a table because my belly is too big to fit in a booth. I have to do this and now.

    So, I've been preparing the last few weeks. I've been concentrating my excersize efforts on walking and my water consumption is not an issue as I love water. I've been trying low carb dishes and working out a food plan. This is something I never tried before. I know the road ahead is long but I don't have a choice but to do this, or else I'm going to be miserable and die young. That's the reality.

    Now, onto a brighter note, I'm glad I have so much support on this board and I'm happy to be here!

      Welcome back to ADBB !!

      It sounds like you've given this a lot of thought, which is a good thing. To quote you from a previous post,
      My only advice is we need to learn from our past decisions to go off this woe (way of eatting)
      .A suggestion that I have is to start a journal that you can post and refer. The other thing that has helped me alot is to commit to several challenges, but I must admit I have a competitive streak that helps too.

      Best wishes on this journey. Post and visit often.

        Welcome back -- good luck. Hope you adopt Atkins as a permanent WOE and not one more diet!

            Hi Brandy

            Welcome back to your ADBB family

            It sounds as if you are in a great positive frame of mind to succeed this time
            Wondering how to get 'most' of your net carbs from your induction veggies?
            Take a look at the thread from the latest Veggie Challenge to see how others manage it!
