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

    Well, everyone isn't doing great. I had three really bad days and caved to some really bad stuff--each day after staying straight all day. I am now back to my "nothing after dinner/7:00 p.m." rule. That worked for over two years, I don't know why all of a sudden I started eating after dinner again. I know that I probably can never have any kind of bread without going bonkers. That's how this all started. I made a loaf of bread with nut, flax and soy flours and I made chicken salad. Sweets were never my downfall--it was bread and sandwiches. I couldn't stop eating 'sandwiches'! I eventually ate the whole small loaf over a day and breakfast the next morning. It was very low carb, but high fat and high calorie.

    Sooo Day 3 done...one more time. Now that I am back to my exercise schedule, I don't even want to cheat.

    Sunny!

      You know Sunny, You're so right about nothing to eat after dinner rule. I believe that has been very key with my weightloss these last 74 days. It really cuts out alot of eating I found myself doing at night. That and stopping the sweetners. Cravings are gone!
      I can't have any sweetners without going bonkers. I can so relate to you and your bread.
      Hang in there sweetie! We're all rooting for you!

          Hi Sunny-Sorry you had a few bad days, but glad to hear you are back on track. I do agree with your no eating after a certain time rule. I find if I eat late, even if it's little, it's generally to much, and then I start wanting to eat everything.

          The one area that worries me is bread also, I haven't even tried any of faux breads, b/c while I was never really addicted to sweets, I too really like good bread, bagels, etc..

          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.

            Hi everyone

            Diva - congrats on your weight loss!

            Sunny and Sherri - I think I'm going to have to copy your rule because after dinner is my 'danger zone'. So for now, nothing after dinner/9.30pm - I eat very late because I'm often out and kickboxing. When that happens I tend to eat 'dinner' before I go and lighter 'lunch' after. I am going to have 1 night a week 'off' as a treat and see if I can cope with that. If I abuse it entirely I'll cut it out.

            Day 8 here feeling good.

                Alexa, Great plan! It's a great rule to have. Nothing to eat after dinner. It's been very key to my success. It will be for yours too.
