I am starting over...right from the start...

[I am not fat, I am fluffy]

Ok so I fell off the wagon...it started slowly in little bits and then it started becoming an everyday thing. Eating to much of the right foods, I had a pop here and there. I quit smoking just over a week ago and that is really when I fell off the wagon. I started eating chocolate and sweets. I am not ashamed of myself but aware how easy it is to put the wrong things or to much of the right things in my mouth. For the first few weeks I was drinking 3 litres of water a day, now your lucky if I drink 1.
I am out of "the K zone" as I call it.
I sat here this morning and went through linda's site and made my shopping list. I went shopping and I have all I need. I have made my menu of what I am going to eat this week and nothing else is going in my mouth! I have the smoking cravings under control...so now to control what I am eatting again and how much. I assume I will be back in the "K zone" by Thursday. I know this time I will reach out to friends I have made here before grazing on crap. I know what happens when you don't stay strict with this way of living. I have kept 6 lbs off for a month but that is all. November will be different. I welcome any new friends that want to help me on this journey...I really need help. thanks

Welcome back!

I wondered what happened to you!

Thanks, had to knock the smoking habit once and for all. I quit cold turkey and with that my atkins eating went out the window...So I shall do this as a non-smoker. I know I can do this, just glad I have this board for support. God knows I need it. Thanks for being here

Glad you are back. It took me a while before I understood what you meant by the K zone. But I got it.
quitting smoking is big. You should be proud of yourself.

Glad to see you are back! Next time you want to cheat...come on the board & look at the before & after photos...I find them really inspirational.

oh I am..I have smoked for 15 years I guess and I have tried quiting about 10 times. i just ran out of smokes last weekend and couldnt be bothered to go and get more. I am back on track and going to do this...I guess I really needed to get the smoking out of the way..Atkins helped because now I am not scared I will gain weight and fell quiting at this time is best.
i just hope I can get back in the zone....I dont think it should be hard...right?

I found quitting smoking was one of the hardest things I ever did and since so much of it is habit you continually look for something else to put in your mouth once the cancer stix aren't there. Glad you are back. We all have missteps and it will happen again but getting back as soon as you can will minimize the damage. Good for you!
