Hello!! Day 7 of Induction!!

[erika~]

I just found this site while browsing!! Looks like exactly what I need.....support! S/O likes to think I can have just one taste of everything..grrr. lol

I am SAHM to two handsome lil men age 8 and 8 months. The oldest is very happy energetic and has Autism. The youngest is usually happy and very energetic. These are my reasons for beginning this lifestyle. I am sick on being lazy and sluggish. I want to do everything with them and I want to be able to keep up. I'm sick of trying on every pair of pants and still feeling uncomfortable and fat no matter what I wear. I want to look in the mirror and be happy with whos looking back. Sick of having a pretty face. So here I am!

So far so good. I am the only one in my household on the diet so I try to make meals that I can start of being for me and then adding the extra sauces , noodles, milk, bread, carbs, for the boys. Seems to be working well. I started really thinking the hard part would be no bread or pasta. But its funny that it doesnt boother me at all. I have never really likes sweets....but thats all I crave. Funny how you dont realize how much your really eat in a day.

I cant wait to start posting and learning from the pros!! See ya on the boards!

Welcome!!

Read the book Georgiana told you about before -- Plan your meals for a few days so you have everything in your home and you won’t be tempted to eat something not allowed. Check Linda's recipe site it will help keep you from eating the same thing over and over -- http://www.genaw.com/lowcarb/menus.html.

Exercise, take a non-iron multivitamin and drink a minimum 64 ounces of pure water (nothing added), daily. Start a journal, it's a great place to get everything out in the open, be accountable to yourself - you'll also meet some great people there! http://www.atkinsdietbulletinboard.c...journal-chats/. There’s something for everyone here!

If you need anything we’re here to help you!! Good luck to you!

Yes we are here for support. Us Atkineers have to huddle together sometimes. Sounds like things are working out well. Yes I too learned a lot about my eating habits when I followed induction strictly. Some of it was a bit shocking.
