Default Re: Feeling fat, ugly and ashamed :(

Are you finished? I mean, really - are you done feeling sorry for yourself yet? If not - get it all out. Get out all of those feelings of self-doubt - self-hate and everything else. get it all out and then NEVER say them again.

I know I don't personally know you - but as someone who's had those feelings herself too many times - I can tell you how INCREDIBLE you are because you're here. You WANT to change. Remember how fabulous you felt at that "perfect" weight you were at a while back and realize you CAN and WILL be there again.

For me - I know I've finally found the way of eating that helps me stay thin and I actually don't WANT to go back to the way I used to eat because of how unhappy I was eating that way. I've been on atkins now for 6 months and couldn't be happier.

I finally know what works and I'm working the plan! Do I miss sugar? Do I miss pop tarts and oreos and french fries and diet dr pepper? You bet your butt I do. BUT - I refuse to go back to eating that junk because I've finally realized that I can NOT eat that kind of stuff if I want to be thin. And I want to be thin more than anything. Those foods are NOT worth it.
Plus - I also know the science behind it. Sugar makes my insulin raise and raised insulin is what keeps me fat. It's as simple as that.

You CAN do this. You've done it before. You WILL do it again. And you've come to an INCREDIBLE place for support.

I wish you ALL the luck and blessings.
