Day 1 of the rest of my life...
Hi all!
My name is Kelly and I am just joining this board after a successful Day 1 of induction. I have started Atkins a handful of times, and have lost weight only to gain it back when I slipped back to my unhealthy way of eating. I realized that the satisfaction of finally achieving my goal weight is greater than any temporary satisfaction I might gain by eating sugary/floury junk food. I realize now how short lived that sort of satisfaction is, and I basically feel like crap within minutes of consuming junk. I feel immediately better when following the Atkins WOE, but I have slipped in the past, thinking over and over that I would not gain the weight back if I started eating unfulfilling carbos again! I hope that this board will hold me accountable.
I am getting married June 4th of this year! I know it is very unlikely that I will achieve my drastic goal in that time, but I know even with just 10 pounds gone, I will feel better! This 50 pounds weight loss will likely take a year or so, but I am sure that it is possible! I have a small body frame and will work hard until my goal is achieved!
If you have similar weight loss goals, or if you are a newbie, we can be buddies! I look forward to reading everyone's success stories, even if it's just 5 pounds lost in your first month!
