someone pinch me!
hello all,
this is day 6 of induction for me and i just can't believe how painless this WOE is proving to be. i've attempted atkins before but never to the letter like this, and what everyone says here is true, if you are doing it correctly
and cleanly, it is practically magical.
i have been in a torturous cycle of out of control carby binge eating, then hating myself, then trying weight watchers, then failing miserably usually in the very same day i started, only to return to the self-hatred and the carby binge. i felt like garbage, ate like garbage, and lived a less than ideal existence.
now, perhaps i am getting ahead of myself, this is only day 6 after all, but somehow something just feels so incredibly *right* about how i'm eating, and how i'm feeling.
for the first time in a really, really long time i feel hopeful. i am not dragging myself through my day boosting myself with caffeine to meet the next round of responsibilities ( i have two children, am in school part time, and a husband who works long hours). i am sleeping better. i wake up feeling refreshed, with a clear mind rather than sluggish and foggy one. and my favorite part, the truly magical part is that the minute to minute obsessive thoughts about food and dieting are simply GONE. i eat until satisfied and then don't think about eating until the next meal time comes. this type of relationship with food just wasn't possible when i was eating carbs and i blamed myself as a result.
i'm in this for the long haul, for life. i can't wait to see where this takes me.
i've been reading a lot of really great info here. thanks to all who post.
just thought i'd share my positive experience so far.
best to all,
courtney
