I have been on the Atkins diet since Jan 16, 09 and have had great success! but with that success, I find that my willpower is wavering. Sadly, I have been very VERY bad this weekend. I am too embarassed to even list all the bad things I have eaten. I convinced myself that since I've worked hard these last 6 months that I could slack a little for just ONE weekend and I promised 2 get back on track monday...im pretty sure you've figured out that it hasn't happened. I'm TRYING to re-start induction 2day and I'm hoping everyone could share some kind words of encouragement because I REALLY need them right about now...

Re: HELP! Wavering Willpower+destrctive Weekend!
Hang in there NOW. Get up and restart every single day and if you don't make it then start again tomorrow until the GOOD DAY finally happens. Right now your head isn't in it, but keep trying and don't beat yourself up if you don't make it through today, or tomorrow. It may take awhile but you CAN FIGHT the apathy and lack of motivation. I went through this six months ago and it is a battle but you are so close to that next goal. For some reason that's when I always slack off--when i am close to an event or goal. Then get frustrated because I don't seen to make it for months. You can do this. I am pulling for you. Us Jersey girls have to stick together!JILL
HW 298
HW (this time) 248
GOAL ONE 228 (take 2)
GOAL TWO 213 (personal goal)
GOAL THREE 199 ONE-DERLAND
FINAL GOAL 165
It's not about the results. Its about the process.

Re: HELP! Wavering Willpower+destrctive Weekend!
Try to find what motivated you to get started and to do some well before you had your episode and try and link back to that. For it is a picture. I hate how I look in it and it helps me in tough times (we all have tough times).
This may also be a sign that it could be time for you do move to OWL when you get things going again. QWL will give you more choices and perhaps help you hang in there. But one step at the time. First back to induction.

Re: HELP! Wavering Willpower+destrctive Weekend!
Thanks so much for that! This is my 2nd day of induction and I am doin well so far...hopefully I can continue to stay on track. Finally being able 2 see two twenty-something on the scale is acting as a motivator for the time being...its a small goal but those are the best as they are easier to attain and I'm less likely 2 be discouraged.Comment
