When the Roller Coaster of lbs occurs (or in my case the YoYo Affect). Just Keep going. The ups and downs are TEMPORARY and most of the time it just concerns water weight that you are retaining for 1 reason or another. DO NOT GIVE UP!!!!

10/14/14 Starting over is better than never beginning!

Back again, feeling invigorated. I'm not going to be discouraged that I gained, I'm just happy that I know a sure fire way to lose it. No shots, no pills, no starving, just Atkins, the best way of eating. :)

Keep calm and welcome back to Atkins!!! - anonymous

My message for the day for me... a Reminder..

I felt so good when I was following the Atkins eating plan. I felt better, my mind felt sharper and I felt in control of life. I miss that and am in the process of finding it again so I can live feeling Light, Sharp (mind) and lovely!

I have this marvelous calendar it is from Marci at Blue Mountain arts... Last months message:

Everything happens for a reason!
So often we wonder about the "whys" in life..."Why did this happen?" "Why me?" "Why Now?"..etc, But there is a secret that wise men know.. Bumps in the road are an inevitable part of life that softens us, make us grow and bestow upon us the virtue of compassion. Often it is only with the passing of time that it becomes clear that the cloud really did have a silver lining, and now we have wisdom, strength, and hope to share (and you all do!). And at last, we understand the true meaning of the phrase "Everything happens for a reason"...

Thoughts to think of.. We are what we are because of what has happened to us and our thoughts and reactions!.

I will post December's message tomorrow... I have a new calendar for next year and if it does not offend anyone, I will post as it is alittle more religious minded :)

Thank you Lulu NH and wannaskipandlaugh!
LOVE reading these. Thank you for sharing.
wannaskipandlaugh, please do share future ones. If people find them offending then they need to skip reading them. I am looking forward to reading them :)
All the best, Ladies!
