Last day of induction and it really works!!

[Katlambert]

Wow...I can't believe that I've made it to day 14 of induction and it wasn't even that hard. In fact, after the first few days, it was downright easy.

I won't be going far because I'm going to stay on induction for another week and then probably go to rung one of owl and sit for awhile there.

You know, I was really skeptical at first...up until two years ago, I never had to worry about my weight at all. I ate what I wanted, it didn't matter if I excercised or not, I always stayed at a steady 135. So, when the pounds started packing on, I didn't know what to do or how to do it. I had never taught myself any self control because I didn't feel like I needed to.

But this has been amazing. I'm almost glad that I've gotten myself in a position where I need to lose weight, because even though I used to stay thin, the way I was eating wasn't healthy for me in the long run. Over the past two weeks, I've started to learn to make healthy choices and I've found a way to eat that I can live with for the rest of my life.

I don't know what has happened on the scale since I haven't stepped foot on it since my first day of induction. But, to be honest, I don't really care. I followed the rules, I feel great, my clothes are getting looser, I'm excercising regularly, and I have more energy than I've had in years.

Thanks everyone who has given my support over the past few weeks. I'm so glad I found this board and I'm looking forward to the rest of my journey.

Kathy, I have not followed your induction, but this is one of the best posts I have read. It's so well worded, and good hearted! I am so glad you are having the success that you are. I believe that as I have read over and over Dr Atkins book, this journey of yours is a prime example of what He really wanted to provide for his patients...
I think this is such a good testimonal. I can only hope a moderator or two will catch this, and make it a sticky...
It's so good...
Good luck to you as your journey onward. Keep this positive attitude and balanced approach to the scales...You are a wonderful example.

Thank you...you're going to make me cry.

I actually haven't been around as much as I would have like to been during my induction period but I've popped in often and read posts, especially when I knew that I was going to be in a tempting situation. I really believe that without this board, I would not have made it through a clean induction.

Congratulations on your clean induction, Kathy

I am glad you are feeling so good about yourself and your body's reaction to Atkins eating!

Congratulations Kat. Your enthusiasm is contagious and I hope it helps everyone who has doubts to see the wonderful results you have had with staying on a clean induction. I'm so happy for you!!!
