I MADE IT TO DAY 14!!! YAAAYYYY!!

[lowcarbing4ever]

:wave Hi all!

:icondance Well, here I am! I have made it to day 14!!! The longest I have ever stuck with most things, actually! LOL! I can't believe that I made it this far! It is so unbelievable but I can't believe that I wasted so much time in the past cheating over and over and over again; lying to myself.

Now that I look back, maybe it was because I was truly not ready. Like I heard Dr. Phil say once, "when you are serious about losing weight; really ready, then you will take the steps, walk the walk and do it; no question." I don't think that I was truly ready or serious as I thought about losing weight. Sure, I have said so many times over so many years, I was tired of being fat....blah, blah, blah, like I am sure many of us have done. I had many opportunities to lose weight and each time, I could never stick to it because of on reason or another. Most of the plans were not right was part of the problem but 99.999% of it was ME. Not willing to committ and do the work.

I have learned alot about myself these past 14 days and what I can do if I really put my mind to it. I finally reached my "rock bottom" 14 days ago and really did the work this time. I owe most of my success to all of you. I don't think I would have tried Atkins again seriously, if I hadn't come here and read about all of your struggles, gotten great/terrific/wonderful support and encouraement and read all of your success stories and Atkin "do-over" stories (lol!). To know that no matter if I failed my induction or succeeded, that you all would encourage me and still support me. Ok I am getting to wordy, sentimental and all that crap. Just want to say thanks to all and I will post my numbers tomorrow! I am so excited! :dancingb:

ensive Hmmmm.....Midnight is technically tomorrow, isn't it! LOL!

good for you wait till you get up to post those numbers though as you will lose fluid weight during the night and be lighter then when you went to bed.

FANTASTIC!

Before Atkins I really thought I had no willpower. I thought I "wasn't ready" either. But now I know I have plenty of willpower when I'm being asked to do something that nourishes my body and spirit, and makes logical sense.

You have really proven yourself. You have tested your mettle and bested it. Congratulations! 14 days to freedom. Nothing can stop us now. ha

Ok, ok. I will be good and wait til morning to post my numbers. I didn't know you lose fluid during the night? Wow. Thats good to know! Well, off to bed. I really hope I did well. I can tell I did something because now I notice differences in how my work uniforms fit and my energy level.
