Hello all,
I am starting Induction today. I did Atkins for 1 month in the fall of 2003. I certainly didn't intend to only do the diet for a short period of time (yes, I've read the book, and yes I know it's a lifestyle change, not a quick fix!) During that month, I lost about 10 pounds, but I found I couldn't stick to it and rationalized why I should go off the diet. Now I'm up 35 pounds!! The first 15 or so pounds came back on immediately, and the rest has creeped on over the year, mostly due to excessive, emotional eating. I've decided to try Atkins again, mostly because I know it will hopefully stop my sugar addiction and my emotional eating. I am worried about what will happen in a month when I find myself struggling on the diet, but I'm so desperate to lose the weight and get my eating under control that I can't think that far in advance that something *might* go wrong later.
Geez, I started this post intending to pump myself up, and now I'm second guessing myself. Maybe I should focus on being able to eat my meat & eggs for breakfast and just stop overanalyzing!
Current Weight: 200.5
Goal Weight: 150
