My first time around I was on induction for 14 months and lost 101 lbs. Then I upped my carbs so that I stayed at the same weight although I was still eating the same foods. (I'm a picky eater)

Then I started eating bad foods and became bulimic because I was terrified of gaining the weight back, and then severly depressed when I did start gaining the weight back which caused more eating and more depression etc... I tried Atkins several times, losing 20 lbs here and 10 lbs there but couldn't seem to stick with it the way I had the first time. I kept cheating, lying to myself that it was a one time thing.

So here I am trying yet again and knowing that I can't cheat even once for any reason what so ever. I'm on induction and I will stay on induction for as long as it takes to get to a set point and then THIS time I'm going to do OWL the way I should have the first time...

I've learned a lot, but I'm getting older, so I've gotta get this right this time before it is too late and I get diabetes or heart trouble etc...
