so discouraged

As soon as I started eating more carbs, like flax meal, whole wheat bread with no sugar and sugar free ice cream, all foods allowed on this program, my blood sugars went crazy! One day I was at 202! Needless to say I was feeling crappy. Crappy doesn't even begin to describe it. Achy all over, a constant dull headache and very moody. It suddenly came to me that I was feeling so bad because I was eating all the starchy carbs that I hadn't for several months. Duh! So, I'm back on program and gonna stay on it. I'm not saying I won't ever fall off the wagon but I'm gonna do my best to stay this time. So, hang in there. Don't get discouraged. Even if you aren't loosing weight you are getting healthier each day that you eat this way and do a little exercise.

It's amazing how Atkins spoils us -- we feel so good when we're on plan but once we change to something else our bodies get upset and put us through h*ll for it!

I use to post on one a thread of mine "I may be old but I can still loose weight".... I may loose slowly but I can still loose. I bet there were weeks I didn't gain any weight so I can't be upset when I don't loose any weight during a week.

Ok, that's my 2 cents worth for today -- wishing everyone a wonderful Atkins food day!!

Hi Audrey -- how are you doing? I haven't talked to you in awhile and wanted to stop and say hi!!

Audrey -- you said on my thread you have lost 4 inches around your waist -- way to go!!!! I'd almost give that over a number loss anytime. I've lost more inches in my waist than anywhere since I began but that is because I carried all my weight there. I had smaller legs and arms than someone my size but like my mother's family I carried everything in my stomach.

Good for you loosing 4 inches!!
