Embassassed but back

[Elsie150]

Greetings all!

Well here I am again! Started Atkins back in August 05 with great success. Lost 60 pounds. Today I have gained all of it back plus 3 pounds...that 3 pounds came on in this last week. I am a mess. Sore and tired all the time. So as embarrassing as it is to admit my failure I am hoping that by coming back here I can have the success I had in the past. I am coming here instead of the STAC forum because it has been so long that I feel like a newbie. I will have to learn everything all over again. I think I became lax in keeping track last time..wasn't using my fitday...wasn't making sure everything was balanced and I also think I freaked out when I hit that 60 pound mark that I was going to succeed. And then I wouldn't be able to hid any more or have excuses. Scared me. And I paniced and ate. So sad but lesson learned and I am ready to move on.

For the newbies...READ THE BOOK...it really works! You really need to read it to understand how it all works. I am cheap by nature but the book is worth every penny!!!

Aw, welcome back. I started back in last March and fell off the wagon. I came back in January and I have been going gangbusters ever since then. You will to! I know about the emotional issues of losing this fat, it has been very stressful to me and I actually have become more withdrawn because I am losing! Isn't that weird?

You know the success you saw on Atkin's before and you know you can do it again. I know you can do it to!

Thanks for the welcome. Isn't it funny the mind games we plan with ourselves. Keep up the great work.

Welcome back. Don't look back, make a plan to go forward to goal. We're all here with you! You can do it. You said a mouthful in that reading the book and understanding the program is the key to make it happen.

Thanks Dream! I know it can be done as I did do it before. BTW...love your newest picture! What an inspiration you have been for me and many others.
