Healthy ME????

…but now I wonder.  I mean, I say I’ve gained weight because I love food more that it loved me, but when on this diet this past week, I got really tired of eating, like seriously to the point where I was hungry, but didn’t want to eat and this forced me to reevaluate my diet.  So I last 3 days on my diet. lol Yeah, I’m just that good.  A’back to Atkins I will go, singing all the way. Hmm, maybe not singing, I would hate to inflict that on other outside of random karaoke situations.  I do love Atkins, I know it works for me. My problem is that I tend to gradually fall away in little ways. For example, having a few of those free chips and salsa at a restaurent, or just a bite or 2 of cake and pretty soon, I’m eating multiple slices of cake and hole baskets of chips with salsa. Very tasty, but horrid for me figure.  Anyway, since I hated the thought of eating on the other diet (this never happened to me on Atkins) and I know Atkins works for me, I’m baaack. I tried to start Atkins last May and was pretty successful. I dropped about 15 pounds in 3 months and didn’t notice anything, but that my clothes were a little looser and my measurements were smaller. Seriously, I almost forgot I was doing low carb, I just didn’t think of eating the really bad stuff. Of course, I only lost 15 pounds and that was because I wasn’t paying too much attention really. 

So, I restarted Atkins on my day off, Friday, and it was nice. I didn’t eat anything for breakfast because I sort of ate several really awesome slices of pizza the night before. What can I say? I can home to 4 boxes of pizza with garlic sauce on the coffee table.  My sisters ordered some and my parents had the same thought and came home with some. :shrugs: I couldn’t resist the smell of all that garlicky goodness. Mmmm, garlic.  Anyway, so I had something like 4 slices and was stil full Friday morning and then went and picked up a sister from work at noon and we ran a couple of errands to Target and Petco. Then we went to Grandma’s house and spent an hour or so visiting. By this time it was 2 and I was seriously starting to get hungry (not the best way to start a diet, eh?) so my sister and I drove over to Bennigens because they don’t have any free appetisers for me to practice resisting and because I like their burgers and they substitute fries for broccoli for free. 

So at Bennigens, I had a Big Irish burger and broccoli and barely finished half of it and took the rest home, feeling very full.  I actually spent the rest of the day feeling satiated and so didn’t have dinner, just a cup of green tea (decaf) with some sweet n’ low.  I wasn’t ravenous this mornign either, but knew I should eat something and ran out of time to make anything and had a few more bites of the burger and am still not hungry at all and I haven’t been eating all the time.  Awesome. Wish me luck on this current kick too.
