I was doing swell on the Atkins diet up until Thanksgiving....
Then I turned into an eating monster! I ate one sweet and
that wasn't satisfying for me and before you know it I was
stashing candy bars in my closet!
I wasn't too worried about my weight because I don't have much
to loose but I was on an eating frenzy that lasted straight through
the New Year. I even made a pie and ate it all myself and told my
family I found a fly in it and had to throw it out--NOW THAT'S BAD!
(they still don't know the truth!)
The worst part about it for me though was I felt like my brain was
fried! I couldn't concentrate-make a decision--couldn't sleep--couldn't
get up in the morning--I really wasn't even worried much about the
weight gain....The sugar had complete control of me and had even
changed my perssonality!
It was scary
Finally last Friday night I prayed that I would have the willpower to
overcome this sugar addiction that had me hiding food. Well, the next
day it was drizzling but I got up and put on my running shoes and got
myself out the door and walked three miles in the rain. I knew after
that that I was on top of the situation. I drank a gallon of water that
day and got back on induction--with a smile on my face
- because I
KNEW I had BEAT that sugar demon
It has only been 4 days and already my thinking is crystal clear
again. I have my energy back and am the first one up in the mornings.
It scares me to think how out of wack I was just because of sugar!!!!
Just goes to show there is so many more reasons to eat the Atkins
way besides the great weight loss. I am a much better person because
of it. ATKINS ROCKS
