Hello I'm a Carbaholic (bad carbs) Addict....

[going for it!]

Hi everyone,

This is my first time posting to the board. I've been a lurker for a very long time off and on.

I had done Atkins back in 2005 but fell off the wagon. I lost about 25 pounds and gained it all back. ARG! Since then I'd try LC again, get into 1st 2nd day then cheat, I'll start later........later......later.....later.........

Well, I'm determined to make it this time, and I'm not a typical poster (more of a lurker) but I'm posting to meet some new people who have "been there" and help me hold myself accountable.

I am starting my 4th day on induction today......YEAH! I really wanted to cheat the 2nd night, then I came to the board and read, read, read and I held my resolve......Thank you everyone! What an inspiration!

In my soul searching I realize that I am a carbaholic and that as soon as I have any bad carbs I binge and can't stop wanting more, more, more.

I realize that this isn't just a diet but has to be my way of life. (Along with more water and exercise).

Now it's time to take care of me!

Thanks for listening!

Welcome to the board, glad you decided to post!

You *can* do this, y'know, you can. I was one of those who thought having to give up pasta, bread, and snack chips was going to be torture, and it was hard the first few days, and then... I found enough substitutes that I don't really miss it much now.
