    Back Again

    Hi my name is Cindy I am 37 yrs old, I live in Indiana and have been on atkins before and I do know this works. I wish I had stuck with it. I lost 30 pounds in about a months time, please know I have over 100 pounds to lose and thats why it came off so fast. I think a lot of it was water weight, but my doctor said it helped my blood pressure and he said my heart sounded really healthy and told me to keep up the great work. But then I got back with someone I dated a while back and with stress and irritation went back to eating carbs. GRRR men are so not worth it. Well needless to say I have put the weight back on and then some and I feel like crap. So I am turning my life around and my eating habits have to get better. I have been reading all your success stories and I am so proud of all you people out there and I want to thank all for the great stories. I hope I can do as well as you all have.
    I will post my weight and pictures as soon as I lose some of this bloat. I started yesterday with the atkins and I have about 125 pounds to lose.

    Take Care
    Cindy

    Goal 1: 280
    Goal 2: 270
    Goal 3: 250
    Goal 4: 225
    Goal 5: 200

    I am so wanting to be at any of these goals. I am working my butt off to get there, I love this forum!

You are going to do just GREAT. So pleased to have another 2nd timer with us. I can't wait to see your pics and to journey with you on your adventure. lotsa luv to you.

                  Thanks everyone.
                  I went away for the forth and got back last night. It hasnt been easy for me. I found myself making the kids sandwiches and I sat down with them and started to eat one to without even thinking. I had two bites and then realized I just messed up. The thing is I didnt even realize I was eating nor was I even hungry it was just out of habit. So after that I didnt give up I just know that I have to do something about this weight, I have to get healthy. So I am still hanging in there, I am afraid to weigh, I dont want to get discouraged and since the carbs in the bread of that sandwich I am going to wait at least seven days before I weigh. Yesterday though was a good day I had no mess ups and was very conscious of the plan. I have so much motivation now seeing all the thin women at the lake and then being afraid to sit in a lawn chair in fear that it will break is really devistating. UGHHHH... Then I sat on a cement ledge by the peer and couldnt get up so I scooted down the wall and had to walk through the water and up a slope to get up because I felt that everyone was watching me or would have seen me struggle to get up. As I think about this I just want to cry because I have never been this big. I graduated high school at 130 pounds and even after my first son I was 170, then got down to 140 and at age 33 I got up to 190 and that slowly but surely went up and now at age 37 I am 300 plus pounds. I have been this size for a good two years (its amazing how easy weight comes on) and I really hate it. I know atkins will take it off I just got to keep my will power. And its you people that make me want to stay with this. I want to be thin again and I want more to just be healthy and able to move.
                  So thanks everyone
                  CINDY

                    Re: Back Again

                    Cindy- I have been there and done that. I too am over 300 lbs (314), however it will be melting off soon!
                    When I graduated from h.s. 11 years ago I was about 165, but I'm 5' 11", and I played lots of sports, so most of me was muscle. My body fat was 17% back then. Now I'm too scared to find out what it is....
                    I know we can do this, and good job realizing that you were eating a sandwich the other day. Your subconcious will kick in and soon you won't even want to eat a sandwich.
                    Keep us posted on how you're doing!

                      Re: Back Again

                      wow today wasnt that bad, my mother makes me a mess all the time, I am surprised I was able to stay on track. Why are moms so weird, I would love for her to just treat all her kids equal. I mean she has a label for all five of us. It drives me crazy. Well if your wondering what my label is, its alcoholic, and I dont even drink but a few times a month, but in her opinion those few times are to much. I told her I was doing the atkins way of eating and she just grinned the type of grin that meant yeah right. I can honestly say she really is nuts - and I would say more but I better not post those words.
                      Hey I was wondering how to post a journal on here. Can someone please help me with that because I really would love to track my weight loss and let others know that I can do this and if I can do this anyone can.
                      Thanks!

                        Hey there love. Big sympathetic hug to you. Why do families DO that???? It drives me crazy. Families seem to think they can say the meanest things and not be held accountable. Let's face it. If someone else in your world called you that - you'd probably hold them accountable, give them a mouthful, or just walk away. It's like "because they are family" they seem to think they can just get away with it. Strength to you. That must drive you a bit dilly luv.
                        To post a journal - go to the main ADBB point and find journal chats. Just keep scrolling down through the various boards till you find it. Then just start a threat. I can't wait to see your journal. Go for it. Lotsa luv to ya.

                            I'd take that 'yeah right' grin as motivation... You'll love the look on her face in a few weeks when your weight loss becomes impossible to miss or ignore. And all that without any harsh words. It's perfect.

                              I agree with Nirgal, if your mom thinks you can't do it, it should be all the more reason to show her that you can!
                              You'll be so proud of yourself when you've proven her wrong by reaching your goal
                              I had that kinda thing (on a much smaller scale of course) with my colleagues at work thinking I couldn't get through more than a few weeks of going to the gym twice a week (they even bet a few cents against me).
                              Well it's been 2 months now and I'll keep going
                              Date to reach goal: I don't care, as long as it happens :P
