Starting today...this forum is a God send...

[ocsanders]

I just decided to start Atkins...literally this minute. I've been on the fence, "researching" the WOE for seemingly forever and coming up with every excuse in the book that you can think of to not get started.

I can't tell you the number of days that I say "This is it. You can do it. Stick to the plan." And I derail, eat something that's off limits, and then I immediately throw in the towel...usually by binging because, at that point, I say, well - since today is ruined, let me just sneak in a little cake, or I might as well eat this load or "whatever the carb is of the day" because today is already in the crapper.

I had my typical crappy breakfast, and something in my just snapped. And for the first time EVER, I made the commitment to not let the start of my day derail my plans and goals to lose weight until the never-get-to tomorrow!

I signed up to join this forum, saw that there are plenty of people like me to share my experience with, and can say I feel like I'll be okay in getting started. I don't have to throw in the towel and put it off for the tomorrow that never comes.

I am ok with this.

Thanks for allowing me to share!!!
