Well, Ive finally decided t do it. Ive just gotta lose this weight. Hearing my husband and certain friends say "you're not fat" was just gving me an excuse to avoid the inevitable and remain in denial. Iam overweight, bt Im tall and perhaps I carry it better. However. Im at least 40 - 50 lbs overweight and its time to change that. Previous attempts at dieting havent worked because I simply lack willpower and not having my husband there to diet with me wasnt helping. My husband too is quite overweight and he has previously found success with Atkins and hqs encouraged me to do it with him. So here we go...
Height 5'11"
Current Weight - 190
Goal Weight - 140
Its only been a day but this seems like a really hard diet for me to follow already. I find it hard to convince myself that I cant eat as many vegetables as I want. I love vegetables. I dont like meat, cheese and eggs very much so its hard to use those as the main source of my diet. Here is what I ate yesterday but I was still RAVENOUS all day:
Breakfast - 5 pieces of salami (no carb) with approx 1 Tbls cream cheese
Snack - 3 more pieces of salami with cream cheese
Lunch - Salad - approx 2 cups salad greens, 1/4 cucumber, feta cheese and oil & vinegar dressing
Snack - 5 small pieces of bacon (no carb)
Dinner - 2 chicken breasts (marinated in Teriyaki sauce), 1 cup of brussel sprouts
DH kept telling me to eat some more meat or eat some eggs if Im hungry but I dont like eggs and meat doesnt fill me up at all. Advice please!!
I keep wondering if Id lose just as much weight just eating lean meat and lots of veg.
