Back Again and Need HELP!

[kyenkasey]

Hi, my name is Tammy. I started Atkins 3 years ago and did very well and loved it. I lost 60 pounds and then moved across the county developed terrible eating habits (starvation) and lost another 30. Transferred back to california, but had a very physical job that allowed me to eat anything I wanted and maintained my 140 pound weight at 5'11". Transferred positions and became sedentary, but continued to eat aughhhh. Here came 45 pounds! I tried to go back to atkins, even re-read the book, printed menus, did the grocery shopping and FAILED big time! SO, I gave up and ordered nutrisystem. Oh my gosh! The food sucks, I was always hungry and I had the my horrible gas you could ever imagine. Needless to say, I can't do nutrisystem. I need help getting focused again. What worked for me before were the very basics of atkins, meat; cheese; eggs and salad w/ranch as I can't do variety or I really screw up. I need help. How do I get it back mentally so I can loose this weight again. I appreciate any and all support!

Have a great day!

I once had a boss who went on Nutrisystem...one word for ya...Alpo. Ew. Anyhoo. Big georgeous omelettes and steaks are way better! Welcome to the board!! Everyone here is super-friendly and willing to help

Welcome Tammy! It's great that you decided to join us in doing Atkins.

Sometimes things go slower the second time around, but if you follow this way of eating the way it is supposed to be followed, you'll be successful in the long term. It just takes patience.
Do you have a copy of DANDR 2002 edition? It's really important to understand the whys and wherefores of this diet.

If you have any specific questions, give us a should... there's always someone who's around to answer!
Happy low carbing!
