    Sunny - That must have been embarrassing. I found a belt to be a necessity when I joined this WOE. I never had to wear one before, but I started to get plumber's crack. I always had more 'junk in the trunk' to hold them up and now I don't have anything there. I haven't measured myself in a long time. My jeans are getting loose though. I can get them on and off without unbuttoning them. I guess its time to invest in new jeans, but I'm afraid that I wont be able to maintain and will gain the weight back. I'm still holding onto my size 9-14 jeans and the ones I have now that are falling off are size 5. I'm just now realizing that maybe its time to get rid of the 9-14s as a sign of commitment to this WOE. Out with the old and in with the new. As always, thanks for the encouragement!
    I have found that it helps to get rid of everything as soon as you go into a smaller size. I can't afford to buy all new fat clothes, so I have to make sure that I don't gain! I had 150 pounds to lose so I have been buying almost all my "in between" clothes at the Salvation Army and Goodwill thrift stores. I have gotten some awesome clothes for very little money.

    Sunny!

      What I know:
      1-Atkins WOE/WOL plan works
      2-I need to always work on the behaviors and triggers that make me over eat.
      3-Atkins WOL is part of the puzzle, but is not the entire thing.
      4-Self-deprecation only feeds our inner ego and not in a good way.

          Yesterday was day 34 for me. I was too sick to go to my family Christmas dinner, so not any chance to even think about cheating.

            Hope you feel better, never good to be sick, but this time of the year is the worst.

                              PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT

                              Jimmy_48 has suggested, and I agree, that this challenge needs a fresh start. It has been running for well over a year and is 281 pages long. We have 14 days left in year 2007, so I will be winding down this thread and on January 1, 2008, I will launch the new challenge.


                              We are certain to pick up many new members as we go into the new year and we will be ahead of the game by entering 2008 cheat-free and slimmer. We will all carry over our cheat-free days to the new challenge!

                              Get ready for the countdown to 2008!



                              Sunny!
