New to Atkins, 2nd week Induction

[ConstantCraving]

Hi

I am very new to the programme. One week and 2 days in now. The weight loss the first 5 days was impressive!! Not much lost the past few days and I'm sticking right with the book on it. Deep in ketosis the past few days.

Right up front I'm a carb junkie, an emotional eater and I have body image issues. A tad dysmorphic. I always see a fat woman in the mirror, every bulge, wrinkle and skin sag.

I was reading this forum and was so impresssed with the support, the information available and the broad range of the subjects talked about here. I have never dieted with a support network and I'm looking forward to participating.

I'll figure out yet how to put a pic and goal weights up etc yet!!

Hi Constant craving,
you are doing quite well and please don't get discouraged if the weight loss slows now that you are in your second week--most likely you will have ebbs and flows, most of us have. Try not to get too worked up like I did! Get your tape measure and really use that as your tool and try on clothes, that beyond everything else is a great motivator for me! Heck, I was feeling really blue today about my weight and not looking perfect, blah blah blah so I went to the department store and just started trying on clothes. I was so excited to see that since I began this program in July, I have gone from a size 12 to a size 8--now that made me feel quite happy! From one carb junkie to another, hang in there, ok?
