Awhhh Shucks, What's Wrong With Me?

[KellySmith]

I have done this before and with success. However, for 2 years now I have re-started probably 100 times. Today will be my 101 time.

But, this time I have written my goals down and I have vowed to touch base with my ADBB friends here. I had y'all when I succeeded before and need y'all again. I can't do this with out the support.

I am an emotional eater and binge eater when my emotions are running high or my stress level is high. I am working on changing that. Also, I have had some severe medical issues over the last few years. However, I realize that is no excuse because I have a choice as to what I put in my mouth and starting today no more junk!

I have successfully completed day 1 of Induction, drank my water and walked 2 miles.

I am so grateful for this support group!

I WILL do this.....THIS TIME!

Hi Kelly, I definitely understand what you're saying - I'm in the same boat. I did this in 2003 and lost 25 lbs. and have gained it all back. I am restarting AGAIN too, so who knows - maybe we can help each other make our goals again!

Re: Awhhh Shucks, What's Wrong With Me?

Congrats on completing Day 1 I will be restarting soon myself. I struggle with the same issues and I am planning on posting here often. The support is necessary to succeed in my opinion. I don't have anyone offline who really understands Atkins or why I need to follow this WOE.

Hey there Kelly, welcome back. It's so hard to get in the zone with low carb, seems like there is always something to spin you out! I've been present but pursuing endurance type sports, long bike ride and triathlons and to train you must fuel with sports carbs. Put on some weight and now I've dialed back the exercise and the food. (Actually today will be the first time in a week that I've done two sports back to back and we shall see).

Low carb eating really is best for my body and soon I will be all locked in again....But for now the road is very bumpy and draining and emotional and yet if I will just stick to it, til I am firm everythign will mellow out again....But it is that in-between good firm ketosis and life that well "life happens"...

Re: Awhhh Shucks, What's Wrong With Me?

I'm kind of concerned with all this talk about people coming off the diet and then restarting. The good Doctor does advise people to restart induction when falling off the wagon, BUT , if it's done repeatedly, you can build a metabolic resistance to the diet and it won't work as well for you. The best case? Stick with it full time!

Re: Awhhh Shucks, What's Wrong With Me?

I usually don't have trouble starting and sticking to this WOE, but I have for awhile. I don't plan to stop and re-start again. I am truly focused and realise that stopping and re-starting is just a waste of time and isn't a good thing.

I am on day 2 and will succeed this time!

Re: Awhhh Shucks, What's Wrong With Me?

Hi Everybody!

I am having another successful day!

Just thought I would pass it along. I hope you all are too!

Hola!

I have been in the same boat. I was doing soooo well a while back, but then I just succumbed to the little voice saying... "A little of that won't hurt you... you've been doing so well!" And before you know it, it's out the window.

I have had my eyes opened recently and realize that this must be a 24/7 non-ending thing. So I'm back on it and I will make it this time for my son, and myself.

So best of wishes! Hang in there! And welcome back.

Haha, sorry for sounding like a stick in the mud. Good luck!

Kelly glad you had another good day. Keep stringing them together and enjoy the ride!

Re: Awhhh Shucks, What's Wrong With Me?

Good job making it another day. One day builds on another! Keep it up!

Re: Awhhh Shucks, What's Wrong With Me?

Thanks Everybody!

I am done with day 3 and still on board. I am really focused and determined this time around.

It's so funny to me....Once you truly decide to commit to this WOE, it, honestly, isn't hard to stay on track. It's not like we will never get to eat Carbs again...we will eventually get to add some stuff back that we like. The cool thing is how much better we all feel when we are doing right and making the good food choices.

I'm so motivated right now. I am sincerely tired of making the stupid exuses to eat the junk and starting over all the time. I can't wait until the ketone strip is purple. AWHHHHH, what a feeling to actually see that you are burning stored fat.

Re: Awhhh Shucks, What's Wrong With Me?

I have successfully completed day 4! I am feeling pretty good.

I prepared a bunch of different Induction friendly foods today. I feel set for the week.

Hope everybody else is doing good too!
