    Re: 2008 How Long Can You Go??? Challenge

    Day 93 down, lost 2.5 for the week and now have a total of 50 melted away. I am so happy I have gone back to this WOE/WOL, why did I ever leave??? Hopefully, I am finally learning from my mistakes.

    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.

        Day 8 here, a tough one - I ate out last night and for lunch today and really wanted the bad stuff. I find days 1-3 hard, and then it's ok, then 8-12 impossible! Must grit teeth...
        Wow Alexa! Your new picture looks awesome! That should be enough to keep you on track!

            I am here to claim day 5. I have had quite a struggle today. Had to convince myself not to go to a buffet at lunch and pig out on fruit. I'm really craving it. Then, after dinner, I wanted to cave to the bad stuff, too, but I came here instead. I was so busy yesterday that I didn't even want to eat, but today has been a struggle ever since I got up. It was bitter cold when I went to church this morning (12 degrees), and it didn't get much warmer (22 degrees). I can't seem to get full when I get so cold. At least I could drink my coffee and hot tea!

            Sunny!

                Today is day 18 for me. I don't know why I got all of asudden I got exhausted this past week. I am starting to feel a little better. I might now have been eating a enough. I notice that the end part of this week I am eating even less. I am just not that hungry. But I do know that I have to eat a little more. I know i have to eat a little more especially as I work out more.
                Congrats on day 18

                Glad you are feeling better. You could check you are eating enough by working out your BMR and how many calories you are burning. There is a FAQ about it: http://www.atkinsdietbulletinboard.c...ead.php?t=6764

                  Hey all, congrats on the not cheating

                  Sunny- I agree, it is harder to feel full when it is cold - I guess its the fat layering instinct for winter or something. Thanks re the photo too
