Re: Brand spankn' new

Thanks Nyna but I do not know why people think I am strong????

I didn't do what I was supposed to do for many years....I knew it was not any good for me, knew I had a problem with drinking for years.... but my attitude and behavior was sort-a like a whiny kids, "I want what I want, and I get it when I want it!" ...what a brat!

Hi Shelly! I am new to this Bulletin Board too, and about 3 weeks into the Atkins way of LIFE!! and 7 pounds lost so far! as of 4 days ago. (I'm a slow loser I guess) I love it so far. I am still doing induction but slowly working in my 5 extra carbs a day. I am very happy for you! You seem to have made some excellent changes in your life, and I think that Atkins would be great for you. I have personally noticed that cutting out all those unnessecary carbs have really helped with all my addictions. I have had an eating disorder for the past 10 years, and while I have been on atkins, the structured diet has lead me down a path to a healthy relationship with food,... and with my self. Good luck to you!

Maybe you were not strong in the past, but today you can choose to
be strong. the past does not equil the future : )

Seems you've come a long way, now go look in the mirror, kiss yourself,
love yourself and make the rest of your life the way you want it to be.

If its worth doing, its worth doing well, and you can do it !

Hi Jamistar,
Isn't it funny that we could even imagine that losing 7 lbs in three weeks is "slow losing"....I had been trying to take off the lbs for some time with no luck. Atkins has changed my mind about a lot of things. Yes, the sugar craves are pretty much gone...it's just behavioral stuff to deal with now. Like at night! I still want to eat even thou I am not hungry. Will work on this. Good luck to you too!

Koober, funny you picked up on that. I have been working with an energy gal who has been leading me in that "learn to love yourself" direction....thanks for the reinforcement.

Shelly808,
That is funny. I never really thought about that... It would normally take me 2 months to lose 7 pounds, and that was starving myself and running as if my pants were on fire! Night time is very difficult. I have to keep myself busy until I go to bed. My house has never been so clean!
