Hello everyone

[Dell]

I am trying this again. I did not follow the plan before; I tried to do my own version. This morning I felt so down, not knowing what was happening with me life. But then I decided. It came like a flash. My stomach was churning just thinking about. And it came to me - just follow the book. I thought I was before, but I wasn’t. I added in my own things. I ate too much or not enough. I didn’t follow it. I set unreal explanations. I was worried about how many lbs I would lose a week -No more.



I will weigh myself in two weeks from today. I will follow the plan. If I want to do extended induction that’s what I will do. I’ll take my vitamins, drink my water, exercise and eat right. Not worry about how much protein and this and that, but do EXACTLY what Dr. A says. COUNT THE CARBS!



So this is it. I have gotten as mad as I can get. I have complained for the last time. I am taking all those other diet books to donate to the library. I am only reading The Book and some books about weightlifting and other exercise techniques. Instead of hoping and wishing for the future I am going to make it happen.





Thanks

Re: Hello everyone

Dell.... awesome post! You're so right to "make it happen". With that mindset, happen it will!!

I think you're so right to just "count the carbs" and do things by the book. Remember that this also means feeding only your hunger, no more, no less. Overdoing things either side of "hunger" leads to probs.

Welcome! Ask any questions you might have. We're rooting for you!

Re: Hello everyone

Hi Dell... I SO know what you mean...I've done low carb my way since April and did actually lose 10 kg which was cool but then I stalled, probably because I never really counted the carbs.
After 2 weeks of nothing I found this forum and going Atkins all the way just felt the right thing to do
Good luck on your Atkins-journey
