Hi all,
As some of you may know, I lost my Dad late last year and it was the first set of holidays without him.
I fell off the wagon on 12/22 and didn't get back on--albeit three false starts--until January 19.
So in that month, I put on 18lbs. Eating everything in sight and probably needing therapy but too stubborn/embarrassed to go, so food became my therapist. Miserable.
The final restart was January 19, and I'm within 4 lbs of my lowest weight on Atkins.
While I'm not condoning this to others, I just wanted to share my experience. I did not restart induction, just picked up where I left off at OWL rung 2. If I keep at the rate I've been going, I'll have lost the 18lbs in that two weeks.
When I fell off the first time I tried Atkins back in '08, it was because I had severe bronchitis. And I was off for six weeks and gained about 10 lbs.
Whatever. Anyway, this WOE is one that I will stick to for the rest of my life. Will I fall sometimes? Of course. I know myself. But I will no longer beat myself up for those falls off the wagon.
Thanks for all the support!
