Re: What's Eating You?

That a brand new pair or pre-atkins jeans that I could fit into when I bought them are STILL tight after a 31 lb. loss. Did they dryer really shrink them THAT Much??? All of my other pre-atkins jean are falling off. I'm ready to shred them.....Well, if I sit down with them buttoned up - I just might!! Just like the HULK! LOL!!

It's awful the way the dryer can shrink your clothes. I learned a long time ago to either put jeans on while damp to dry, or stretch them out flat & dry like hand-washed wool sweaters.

On another note...I HATE SPAM EMAIL!

Re: What's Eating You?

One thing that always irked me, was when people were telling me that I had lost too much weight. And now that I have gained some of it back, people are always telling me that I shouldn't get back to where I was.

Not only was I still 25 pounds overweight back then, but since I no longer have the motivation that I had back then, nor do I have the job that kept me active, just being able to keep away from all the temptation, not to mention that my family is totally not being supportive.

I have 2 family members that want to diet with me, but neither of them is actually serious about it, what with the constant cheating. And on top of that, my sister is doing her own version of Atkins, because for some reason, she feels that she can't give up her favorite things for too long. That actually makes me kinda mad...

And when someone cooks around here, they never set aside a portion for me. They always throw in rice, or potatoes, or something else I can't eat. Not to mention that they always chop the potatoes up into these tiny little pieces, that are next to impossible to eat around.

In addition to all of this, I'm always running out of Atkins friendly foods, because they are always getting ruined by someone adding non-Atkins friendly support foods.

I'm not wearing fat goggles, I must have had fat LASIK eye surgery. EVERY SINGLE TIME I LOOK IN THE MIRROR lately, I feel like Jobba the Hutt. It doesn't matter what I'm wearing, if I've exercised, if it's the morning or if it's the nighttime. Yesterday I made the mistake of wearing a tight shirt that had horizontal stripes, god help me. I looked as wide as a billboard.

Aww hun , I'm sure you look beautiful. No more fighting yourself
I think we all get that way sometimes.(((((((((((Bighugs)))))))))) Hope you get those goggles off! hehe

Not being able to find Splenda in germany! I'm almost out of the supply I brought with me from the U.S. and soon I'll need to go cold turkey. Gulp.

Ut oh! I don't think it's illigal to pass Splenda over the boarder, I can be your supplier via mail. Imagine me buying big boxes full and shipping them top secret to you heheh

Wanting to know for sure if someone can eat 1000 mg phase2 carb blocker 1/2 hour before a plate of spaghetti (or some other load of starch carbs) and not blow their ketosis, like the label promises.

That sure is a nice thought, miracle pill! sounds tooooo good to be true You let me know if you find out!

Re: What's Eating You?

Just in general wondering why the heck my past seems to so completely rule my eating habits. For such a smart girl, I feel like such a dumb bunny . . . right now, at least!

I think that happens to the best of us sometimes, it's hard to let old habits go. Don't feel dumb about it, and don't let it get you down. (I know, easier said than done) Just keep taking it one day at a time. If you need to talk ever, I'm just about always online (((( HUG)))

Some people always will want to rain on your parade. it can be difficultto do things without the support of family and friends. Luckily you have us here at

What were your stats when people were telling you that you had lost too much weight?

I too, know of lot of people that "Do Atkins" but only for a week or so at a time, heck I used to BE one of those people. Try not to get mad. There has to come a time when a person is 100% ready and commited to this WOE, it's not worth stressing yourself over, you can't make them commit, no matter how bad you want to help.

The sabatoge cooks can be the worst! Looks like you may have to start preparing meals ahead of time, so you always know what you will be having and don't need to depend on the cooking of others. It's a lot easier to be sure of carb counts when you personally put the ingredients in. That can be so frustrating for you I bet.

I hope you feel a bit better just geting it all out, stay strong hun
