After being so successful, I have let things get out of hand. I kept up my exercise routine, but stopped watching what I was doing. I am starting over again! Not as far away, but still considerable considering where I was. I got on the scale yesterday at 80 pounds over my goal weight. :bang: I feel like such a failure and have avoided being on the boards because I'm embarrassed by it. I hope my lack of continued success also doesn't derail anyone else, because this really does work. However, and this is a BIG however, it is FOR LIFE!

So, how do I learn? I thought I had. Did I lose it too fast and think, oh this is a piece of cake (no pun intended)? Did it come too easy? I didn't particularly think it was easy at the time. Did I just fall into the yo-yo trap of "I lost it before, I can lose it again"?

The bad thing, is that I knew better. Regardless, I am back on my journey, but once I arrive I want to unpack and stay settled. I guess, I never really moved into my new home. I still thought I was just visiting!

So, here I am back on induction. Keeping my net carbs at under 20. Eating my veggies, drinking my water, taking my vitamins, and getting my exercise.

OK, I'm through with the pity party! I am ready to go again. ]]> Atkins Maintenance gonnabskinny http://www.atkinsdietbulletinboard.com/forums/atkins-maintenance/82506-take-me-out-shoot-me-did-i-lose-too-fast.html
