Where I would be if I didn't take that one little bite

[mjlanham2]

I started induction on Nov. 26 and lost a total of 6 lbs in a week and 1/2. I was doing well until my students brought Christmas goodies(only one little bite), my staff Christmas party(a few sweets won't hurt), Grandma's party(can't turn down Grandma), Christmas, you get the point. I was not strong and I realize that, but I now know that "one little bite" turned into a huge eating binge. I have been bloated, sick, not sleeping and moody since I got off Atkins. I am just know starting over and I can't help but think where my weight would be if I didn't take that one "litte bite". Let's think about this for a minute. I could have lost more than 10 lbs or even 15 lbs now that Santa brought me a bike! Now I am back to my starting weight and those 6 lbs that I lost are going to have to go again. This is crazy. Why anyone would want to do this to themselves is beyond me, but I can tell you it all started with that one little bite.

remember this feeling next time you have the urge for that one bite.

Seriously !! I think about how much weight i could have already lost if i had just stuck with it !! In two months i could have lost 10 or 15 pounds .. id probably weigh 165 right about now and id be wearing my smaller clothes !!

I know where your at. I am in the same place. Back on induction today. The last 2 weeks have been not good to say the least for me. Dont think of what could have been think of what will be and try to remember this feeling for the next time your tempted.

Very good post. If I has stuck to Atkins a year ago I would be at goal already! Right now I lose about 6 pounds a month and that keeps me from not having anything off plan. Once you really see the weight coming off it is very motivating. Right now I am wearing pants that I couldn't even do up three months ago.
