It's so great to see these boards still up and running; all of you are just so supportive and encouraging.
Most of you probably won't remember me, but I was here for a time last year, and doing well, on induction and losing weight. I lost ten pounds on an extended induction before I broke down and went back to my old habits.
Anyway, life changed a lot for me, and I found myself living alone, in my own apartment, as a struggling college student. Since my parents and I were on a very tight budget, I got to a point a few months ago where I'd only be eating once a day. I returned back home to transfer for financial reasons, but at my peak of loss, the end of last month; I weighed the least I have since before I hit puberty; 154. I felt really encouraged, even though I knew that my eating habits weren't healthy.
Keep in mind that I've been in my 160/170s for over eight years.
Well, since returning home a couple weeks ago, I've regained ten pounds. I don't get out much since I don't have school, and there are four other people living here, so there's always food to eat, and of course I give in. I've become desparately depressed about this and I don't want to resort to something like starving myself. I can't do that to my body again, and this WoE has worked for me before.
Bottom line: I really want to get back on induction... but I don't know how to do it. Every time I've told myself that I would restart, I've given in to something that ruins it. I know I'll be okay if I can get past the first couple of days, but I'm so out of the funk, that I feel as if I've never done this before. Since it's been more than a year since I've done Atkins, I'd really appreciate some helpful encouragement or advice.
