Here I go again....

[LoriAnnBerry27]

Hi my name is Lori and I am planning to start the induction phase bright and early tomorrow. I am an old Atkin girl who lost 60lbs in 2000 and reached a nice goal of 127lbs. My weight fluctuated the past 5 yrs but I mainly used this diet to help my control my bulimia. Atkins, in a way let me binge on meat and then when I went into ketosis, my binging subsided because I lost the urge for carbs. Well, this past year has been terrible. I quit smoking in July( after 12 years). This is great I know but totally threw me off my diet. Then in October, my son was diagnosed with a rare autoimmune disease and Children's Hospital's kitchenette with icecream cups and sodas became my best friend and my 2nd home. Now Im up to 152lbs and binging all the time. I mostly want to do Atkins to help control my eating disorder. It worked before. I just have to get through the induction phase. Please support!!!! My body needs love and nutrition

welcome to ADBB

I hope your son is going okay. several of us have seen the inside of childrens hospitals and know what you are talking about. the portable cooler becomes your best Atkins friend in those cases and you can hit the supermarket and fill it with acceptablke foods and keep it with you in the childs room for when you got to have something and nothing legal is availible.

here we use Dr Atkins 2002 book ansd induction changed slightly in that rule 5 now says eat only what is on the acceptable foods lists instead of the old make your own list using a carb counter. some of the veggies changesd lists too.

Happy low carbing

Re: Here I go again....

I had a friend who lived at chilrens Memorial here in chicago I know how frustrating and difficult it must be my heart goes out to you.
I also understand how these can become last minute problems and such so the thing is you need to always keep food prepared to throw in that cooler and remeber it will be that one time you are totally not ready that it will be time to pick up and go.
I always admired my friend she always had her bills paid and time spent with the rest of the kids too even with so much time spent there.
