I started Atkins again on Jan 1. This is not my first time on the plan. The last time I was on Atkins, I lost 100 pounds in 9 months. It was easy and the weight came off fast. This time, I don't know what I am doing wrong.
At the end of each day, I go to bed proud to have stayed on plan. I congratulate myself for having a PERFECT eating day. I get up the next morning and get on the scale and low and behold, I have gained weight. I don't understand why. I feel better than I did before, no cravings, no random pains, but GAINING?
I know you all appreciate how much emotional energy goes into losing weight. The hopes, the fears . . . but I have to tell you, when I see the scale going up instead of down, I just want to give up. Whats the point if I am only gaining weight? If I am going to gain weight controling carbs, the amounts I eat, the frequency I eat, if I am going to gain weight as I would if I was just eating what I wanted when I wanted, I am wondering if it's worth it.
I know I have been perfect on plan. I just want to cry. Here comes the whinning ... THIS ISNT FAIR! IT's not my TOM, that finished last week.
Any suggestions to keep me from losing hope and giving up? Cause honestly, I am about out of hope.
