    starting over right

    Well, I have always struggled with my weight..always binging on sugars once or twice every week and i mean A LOT of sugar in one sitting..i'd like to say because i am hypoglycemic but that is no excuse really. so recently i started a month long low fat diet with bunches of exercise (i am in the navy so it is kinda mandatory) and a month later i was hungry, bored of my diet, craving sweets like crazy, but nonetheless 8 pounds lighter. I went home on leave and RUINED it...giving into my family's high carb lifestyle that left me binging binging binging. my mom told me about the atkins diet and i bought the book and started right away. 4 days later, thinking that i could still have asparatame in my diet drinks and gum and not realizing that it caused me cravings, i gave into my sweet tooth again...so here i am..back and ready to go BY THE BOOK. no asparatame, plently of water and help from this board. I can use plenty of support and i have bunches of questions so be ready for them all lol!!!

        Welcome alaska!! It's good that you now know what some of your trigger foods are so you can avoid them this go round. After a few days on this WOE, you will notice your cravings going away. Stick with it and you will see success in no time!!
