My before picture.

[alani]

Hello!
I'm 22 years old.
Hope I will have nicer pic for a month. Now I have 165 pounds, and hope to be about 130 in a three months. Tommorrow is my first day of Atkins. I'm still not sure do I have good informations about this diet, but I orded my book and hope to get it very soon.

I hope that this diet will help me. I'm very serous with diet this time. For a last, I don't know, about 7 years, I'm trying to do something with my body, but I didn't have some discipline. Also, I would exercise, or maybe do some jogging...

I know I need to be strong this time, and not to give up. Hope this forum and my blog are going to be helpful.
Also, I don't speak with my friends or family about my food problems, but I think it's really serious. It's like drug, you know. I'm just addicted to it. I eat million times in one day, when I'm hungry, when I'm not, when I'm sad or bored. If I'm alone, you can guess... I eat. When everybody sleep I go in the kitchen and grab some food. And I'm happy in that moment, but moments after... I feel so sad, like I'm dissapoined in myself.

I just need to be focused on my diet. And think that this is new period in my life of more healthier me.

Re: My before picture.

Oh you are so much braver than I am posting full body pics. I did suck it up and post face pics the other day on the I can't believe I'm doing this titled thread. You look much better at 165 then I ever did

It's amazing how fast you start seeing your face and body changing. Good luck on your goals.

Re: My before picture.

Hi Alani and welcome. I just wanted to add that before I started eating low carb, I also felt like food was a drug sometimes. I would stay hungry a lot, even though I knew I had eaten plenty of food - I still FELT hungry, like a bottomless pit sometimes. And if something I especially liked was available, it was like I could not stop eating it every few minutes or few hours until it was gone and I was disgusted about eating so much of it. It seemed like at times that no matter how much I ate, I was not really satisfied.

If I went to a party and there was a table full of snack food, sometimes I could hardly get away from it all evening until it either ran out or I went home.

I now feel this was due to blood sugar problems related to eating a lot of carbohydrate food. Since eating low carb, I do not have this anymore. I can eat small amounts of things, even things I really like, and then stop. It is SO MUCH BETTER! I am still surprised by this sometimes, and always think to myself "this must be how normal people feel"!

You might discover that after starting to eat low carb, you have more "discipline" about what and how much you eat. Maybe like me, it wasn't so much a discipline problem as a physical problem related to the foods you were eating.

Best of luck to you! Stick with it, and it will work.
