Jessie - it happens - we all fall off the wagon sometimes. But the important thing is you're back! And even better - it wasn't a month, or 6 months, or a year you fell off the wagon
I've had several people ask me how I've had so much will power and I honestly can't answer that lol It's not like this is the first time I've dieted and I had plenty of cheats and wagon falling then - if not I wouldn't be where I am now -- I just got to such an awful place in April and after a month of mental torture wondering if I could fit in a seat on a charter bus for my daughter's filed trip I just decided I've had enough. I'm sick of my life being negativley impacted because I can't get a handle on what I stuff in my face.
Maybe it's because I had got so disgusted I dunno --- and I'm not under any illusion that I'll always overcome the temptation --- but I am also the type person when I really make up my mind on something, that's pretty much it. I was just fed up with it all - with feeling and looking miserable, with not being able to sit down in my pants or tie my shoes -- being too out of shape to go on my favorite hunting trips, and having to drop my defensive shooter classes b/c I couldn't physically keep up. I hated everything I had become and was so angry at myself for allowing it.
So everytime I'm faced with a cheat, all those thoughts and feelings come to the forefront of my mind and no matter how much I even want the cheat, I can't bring myself to do it because I know how horrible I felt prior to starting Atkins and I swore to myself I'd never feel that way again.
Once I get under 300 I just hope I don't forget that! lol
