Re: Ty All!

Thanks FRIENDS! I am hanging in there and "feel the love" and understanding and that is a normal occurence for others...the key is patience, discipline and faith in the program and in oneself...last night I did eat the chicken "skin" and had an awesome artichoke with butter..a breakdown of my loss a good amount of weight and now just in a stall...probably plateauing and that is healthy for the body to readjust to the current weight I am guessing? Today I am relinquishing the obsession of the scale, put it away and focusing on the inner me and my thoughts towards myself...seeking balance in other areas of my life...my focus has been to extreme to the scale and it has consistantly defined me and set the mood for my day...vowed and "DH" took scale away per my request in order to be "ME" and "FREE"...I will check in later on the weight loss or amount in a about a week or 2...just being able to accept myself where I am in and not allow WEIGHT to have such presedence and high esteem in my life... was CONTROLLED by all this that is a BIG STEP for me to let go..food and my weight and my thoughts about myself depending on where I am in a size clothing or scale has/had dominated, and robbed me of a lot of joy and of my life since age 9...today I am free, delivered from the trap and snare of the pounds I am carrying...for this is just a part of me not my entire being.. there is so much more to myself that I am accepting and discovering...you know that whole..."40 year old self identity thingy" we go through...I am excited to be on this journey!

Start date*09/23/2007*

Today's date 10/25/07 You have not been at this long enough to be in a stall (4 weeks without loss of pounds or INCHES) or a plateau. You are just in the 'pause'phase after induction as your mind wraps around the fact that you are doing something really different and mean to keep on doing it. Just stick with it, and it will start coming off again, after you give it enough fat and more calories so it doesn't think you are doing another starvation diet. Atkins is awesome, but it's still not magic. You have to do the work, follow the rules and give it time.
