FORMER DANCER and Yo Yo dieter beginning ATKINS
hello,
I am so excited to be here. I have reviewed the site periodically but never posts due to fear about this WOE and the nervousness about all the future problems that people claim low carbers will endure in the future. But after researching articles and reading the book, I amjust about convinced.. it really makes sense.
I have been yo-yo dieting tremendously for the past 3 years. I would fast for a few days and restrict my diet to 500 to 1000 calories per day while excercising up to 2 hours a day. I would also end up binging weeks on end gaining a few pounds then returning to the restrictive lifestyle. See I was with a dance troupe and the desire to be thin in exotic costumes for large audiences has sparked my obsession with my weight.
Now that I am writing this out, it sounds like anorexia OMG! But now I am a little older and my metabolism is just about out of wack. I started atkins for about a week now and have already lost 5 pounds in five days. It takes longer on a restrictive diet water weight or not.
Unfortunately Until today, I overloaded on carbs and I DIDNT EVEN WANT IT! This really depresses me.
Nevertheless, I realized that this WOE is easier to mantain than avoiding food and counting calories. For the past week I have never gotten really hungry or craved carbs at all. But a few things concern me.
1. Due to my constant yoyo dieting, if I have another carb attack, will this damage my metabolism even further?
2. I ate chicken breasts with provolone cheese, peanuts salads, sardines kale and spinach all week. I DONT feel hungry or tired, just really strange. What is this? Sugar withdrawal, I thought I would be irratable or drained . I also feel a dull pain or pressure in my abdomin. what could be the cause?
3. How long does it take to actually see results? I really dont have much to lose (10-15 pounds) Is there a 10 to 15 pound club here? maybe I should start a thread because it seems like the slower you lose the smaller you are.
Anyway! I am so happy to be here and I look forward to your replies.
Sincerely your new atkins friend Disciplined1
