    2008 How Long Can You Go??? WOE Cheat Free Challenge


    2008 How Long Can You Go??? Challenge



    A new year, a new you, a new me! This is a challenge to help us all commit to this WOE and be accountable to ourselves and to each other.

    As with the previous challenge, everyone defines cheating for themselves, but certainly, eating any food not on Induction or your current rung is cheating, or eating off plan as I prefer to call it. I have other rules which I abide by, such as not eating after a certain time (7:00 p.m.) and I eat nothing after dinner, so if I break those rules, for me it is cheating or eating off plan.

    To join this challenge, just jump right in and start posting, counting every day that you have stuck to your commitment to this WOE. If you do fall off, come here and fess up and get immediately back on plan. Start counting the days and weeks again. Better yet, come here before you fall off and let us talk you out of eating carbage.

    This is a pledge that I signed recently in a commitment challenge. I think it applies to this commitment, as well.



    CHALLENGERS COMMITMENT

    I promise to look honestly at myself and my WOE.
    I agree to do my best every day.
    I am dedicated to making my health a priority.
    I will be committed to my challenges.







    People who say it can't be done, should not interrupt those doing it.

          I am in, yesterday was day 73 for me, or should January 1-be day one b/c of it being a new challenge?

          Either way I am in.

          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.

            I'm in! I love all these challeneges on this board, it really gives me something to strive for, and way to keep me extra accountable.

            I'm on day 7 of my induction, and I've been fully committed. I semi-cheated last night by having a Diet Coke for the New Year when I swore off caffine during Induction, so I guess today is day 1 for me.
            The difference between 'involvement' and 'commitment' is like an eggs-and-ham breakfast:
            the chicken was 'involved' - the pig was 'committed'.

              Nope! You bring those days with you! Day 73 it is! I'm glad to see you here, Bluebelt! I was getting a little worried when you didn't post your days for a while in the old challenge! Keep up the good work! We are all gonna make goal in 2008!

                  Daione--you learned about how important is is to fully commit in the "I am commited challenge" last month. Use your new-found skills to decide what you want to do about the coffee. Decide if having coffee is worth what you will be giving up to have it. Until you succeed at completing a clean induction, you will never know the full benefits of this WOE.

                      Hey all. This is day 7 for me. I did cheat on Christmas, but in the scheme of things, the damage wasn't as bad as it could have been. I'm looking forward to this commitment and will be posting daily. I'm doing an extended induction and feel great. Thanks so much to all of you that post daily that have shared your stories. When i'm feeling a little tempted to cheat, I come here and read. Happy New Year.

                        LOL LOL LOL I will be praying for you and for me! I have to give up my coffee and my green tea tomorrow! It ain't gonna be pretty around here! In addition, I have to give up nuts, all fruit, vinegar, salad dressings, cheese, pickles, mushrooms, mayo, mustard, ketchup and a host of other things. I have to go on a yeast-free diet again because of long-term broad spectrum antibiotics use. I even have to give up my iodized salt, because it has dextrose in it! Yes, your iodized salt has sugar in it!

                        My pickles will be the hardest to let go, because I am a pickle fiend!

                        Sunny! This is what we will look like tomorrow morning!

                          Your trip to Spain is fantastic incentive to stay committed and on track! If I make goal, can I come with you???? Glad to have you here on the challenge!
