[COLOR=Indigo]I am starting this WOE over tomorrow after my bloodwork is done. I have done Atkins before and had success with it and just stopped doing it for no apparent reason. Well the reason, I have since found out, is that I overeat to hide from some issues I had not been dealing with. So now the feelings come out and I find other ways to deal with them other than food. I probably could lose weight just doing that BUT...I also have fibromyalgia and my husband is diabetic and we decided together that the best we have felt in the past is when we were doing Atkins. I love the rapid weight loss part of Atkins but really the pain control and energy is what I am after. The weight loss will be a side effect for me.
My new goal is to not get caught up in all the new junk food that is coming out, stay with real food and draw the best benefits from the real thing. I know the products are improving by the day but I am still going to stay vigilant so I don't just slip into that mindset of feeling like a binge is not so bad as long as the food is "legal."
Talk to you later.
Beginning tomorrow a.m.
