Hello, ally here.

[italiangrrl]

Hey, i'm ally, i'm 17 years old. I went on atkins and lost 60lbs in 5 months. Then I got to my lowest of 147 and gained weight because of birth control, now im back on atkins for the first time in about a year and a half. I haven't been doing good. I have been eating junk food in massive ammounts. I work at a store where its available and cheap so when I am bored at work I eat. This isnt something I have been able to control. I'm starting over tomomorrow. I've read the atkins book before and I know what i'm doing, I just need the support and self control to help me along. So feel free to leave me messages and support because i'll need it.

Re: Hello, ally here.

Hi Ally! Welcome to the board! I'm glad to hear you've read the book! That's important. Bummer about being surrounded with cheap treats. That's a hurdle you will definitely need to get past. How 'bout read a juicy novel instead of eating! Or, figure out if a certain time of day triggers your junk eating and eat something Atkins legal at that time. You can do it, and I'm sure you will make lots of supportive friends on this board!

There is a board wide No-Weigh Challenge going on, you could join that as incentive not to eat the junk if you can't weigh!

Re: Hello, ally here.

I definitely should snack on pork rinds instead of white chocolate crunch bars at work ://// they are so good. I just have to get thin again I feel horrible lately. My body is sore and i'm tired and moody. I'm not happy anymore. I cried twice with my boyfriend over the weekend because he weighs less than me now and he's 5'6 and i'm 5'2. Its hard to tell that i've gained weight because I carry it in my hips and thighs and butt and i don't look flabby i look firm and my upper body is small but without clothes i think i'm disgusting :[ its really hurting my confidence lately.
