Like many others who've posted recently I am having a really hard time. I Started Atkins at the end of Feb. 2009, and was down to 241lbs - almost 50lbs lost. 2 weeks ago I went out of town to attend a friends grad party. It was a party full of old close friends and I had a blast, but by the end of the night I was a bit more than tipsy and stuffing my face with chips......next morning we went out to breakfast and I got a latte......then I hosted a babyshower and pigged out on sweets, then went on a float trip and ate a PB&J on the river....and had wine.....and you get the point.
Fast forward to tuesday when I finally got back on a scale at the gym and found I weighed two hundred and sixty one pounds
I checked at home too and it said the same. That is a 20lbs gain in just 2 weeks off atkins! How is that even possible??? I didn't loose near that much in my 2 week induction! Is it possible my body had a weird reaction? Does anyone know of or had anything like this happen to them? I am more than freaked out and angry with myself and seriously worry about adding carbs to my diet when the time comes.....
I re-started induction yesterday and have already lost 7lbs (261 to 254). I only lost 2 pounds my first couple days of induction last time. I don't understand what is going on at all and really do worry about my body.
Of course it also made me even more positive that sugar is BAD for my body, I wish I could convince my taste buds......I am still having trouble finding the resolve I had when I first started!
