    Scared

    I'm not sure why, but I'm so nervous doing the diet this time around. I have been completely faithful since June 1st --- that is 6 days now! I almost can't believe it! It has been so long since I have made it more than a day sticking to this WOL. I have dropped down from 175 to 171, and I can't wait for the scale to say 169. I haven't been in the 160's in many many many months. And I haven't been in the 150's since my Grandmother died a year ago. I wanted to try and be back to my weight the day she died on the anniversary, but I'm pretty sure that isn't going to happen

    Anyway, I'm scared in general - about every bite I put in my mouth. I have bounced around between so many diets, that sometimes I forget what is right and wrong. Tonight my chicken wasn't thawed in time, so I went through the drive thru at Jack in the Box and got two cheeseburgers, peeled off the buns and ate that for dinner. I also mixed up a smidge of coleslaw (mayo and cabbage shreds only).

    Even though I know this is technically "legal," I'm freaking out because I ate after 8pm...

    I wish I could just relax and let this diet happen

    Wow, you're doing so good! Don't worry about the time. Who cares what TIME you eat. I don't think it makes a bit of difference. You did really good today. You don't sound scared to me, you sound excited to be losing and excited at the thought that you will get down to where you want to, and you WILL. I just know it. Good for you for doing so well!

      Thanks Mickkey! I guess you are right I remember doing this diet my sophomore year of college and eating at all times of night and day - it never did seem to make a difference. I'm crossing my fingers for a nice little woosh anyday now - I need to be in the 160's

        You are doing GREAT, relax!!! I know it's hard, I still have moments of eating something very high in fat and mentally freaking a bit and then realizing it's OK! You will lose weight just fine right now if you stick to the allowed foods, and eat when you are hungry and stop when you are full. I didn't start paying any attention to calories or fat or anything until I had been doing this for about 6 weeks and I have lost steadily every week. Keep going!!! YAY YOU!

            hey! just read your post. i want to tell you that when i started, i was REALLY SCARED too. what of??? FAILURE! we are all here for the same reason.....a goal of good health that INCLUDES the weight loss. and most of us have tried more than once to do it....and sadly, learned lots of unhealthy habits along the way.

            change is difficult. changing the way we look at food is difficult also. i PROMISE you that if you just breathe, take it one day at a time, understand the changes your body is going thru, appreciate all the things that you will accomplish along the way besides just losing weight (a GREAT sense of well being!) .....YOU WILL SUCCEED. patience grasshopper. and ya know, we are ALL here to help you along the road to success....measure your successes daily...not just when you get to the # at the end of the line.

              Thanks you for the 'words of wisdom.' You are right! I have noticed many other things changing this last week besides the scale. I have more energy - I've been sleeping better. Of course, today, after one week on induction, I also hit 169!!! Pretty exciting stuff!

              Everyone - thank you so much for your kind words and support!

                well that IS exciting!!!! and i often wonder why so many people struggle with "cheating". i know that everyone is different so i am NOT making a judgement statement but i just FELL SO MUCH BETTER when i am eating low carb than when i eat "white food" as i call it. my whole digestive system, energy level, bloat or no bloat, energy, sleep is so much better. why would i trade that for a bite of sugar or starch??? nope, that makes it easy for me. so continue to focus on how much better you feel, set yourself up maybe in one of the challenges here on board if you find one you like, continue to read and post dailly......do NOT take any weight changes as FAILURE...your body will just naturally fluctuate.

                as jess always told me and i will happyily pass to you......work the plan and the plan will work for you....trust your body to adjust and do the work. and patience is the key. lots of the pros here will tell you that they went thru maybe long periods where they saw no loss. however, sticking to the plan and enjoying the other benefits while you wait...you will see a change. it will happen

                feel good and know you are developing really healthy habits. life is good!
