    Starting Monday! (for the 500th time!)

    I am so over it. Not another Monday, really?

    Ok so I did Atkins about... hmmm. Well my 9 yr old son was about 2 or 3. I lost about 40 pounds. I was smaller at the start weight back then .. so 40 pounds meant I was looking good, compared to now when I would say 50 or 60 pounds of a loss would mean I was looking good. I would say overall I would like to be about 145- 150. I am about 5'7" (almost) and thirty years old.

    So what happenned? lol How did I gain it back?

    Well, PMS. I walked into the supermarket and they had unleashed the easter candy. I could literally smell the chocolate. The rest was like a bad movie, you get the idea. (Of course not long after I started seeing ""sugar free" chocolate appearing on the shelves. darn darn darn. I had already blew it and not looked back)

    So I have tried a million different things in between then and now. I am back to Atkins.. coming full circle at this point. Somehow I know... like a deeper meaning and understanding... that this truly is the answer for me.

    My family has always said I am not a bread and pasta person. I am a meat lover. I have even tried to go vegetarian to avoid meat all together. (we try it all right?) So, I resolve myself to remebering the 40 lbs. I remember how easy it was for me. I know I am ready for this. I have to get cleaned out in the kitchen and look at the induction plan to get ready for Monday.

    I am here because I KNOW this works. I believe in it. I KNOW I will be at my goal in a year. I know I have to use my treadmill atleast 3x a week and increase with time and higher energy levels.

    I know I have to do this forever. I have researched. It is time to bloom. I am so sick to death that I have allow myself to reach 255 lbs at my highest. I am done making babies. I cannot blame this weight on my kids anymore; my youngest is almost 3 now.

    I am going to lose lose lose. I have a **** inside here somewhere just ready to bust out of this prison of fat build up! My husband is going to fall inlove all over again.

    Hi Bloomer and welcome. It sounds like you're ready for this woe so read your book, then read the stickies at the top of the pages, clean out your fridge and get started. It will make you feel so much better to finally be in control of your eating, as well as set a good example for your youngsters.
    Good luck!

        Welcome Bloomer! You can do this.... I am right there with you. Started again for the 500th time this past Saturday. I had to restart almost every week the first month I was on the plan. I know that sugar is bad for me.... I can feel it every time I eat it.... but at some point in the progress, I decide to give in.... and when I give in, I give in ALL THE WAY. Never just a little slip up.... but whole hog.... on the wagon for a week..... off for six months. I am restarting this week after a week of being off the plan.... so if you need to talk, let me know.... I know exactly where you're coming from.

            You are so sweet! Thanks so much. I am going to add you as a friend. I know we can both do this. It's easy when we get the hang of it!

              Thanks Norah! You are very kind. I sure am a goofball so I hope it comes in handy. Congrats on your losses! I appreciate your support. I hope to be succesful as you!
