Addictions, whether they be drugs, alcohol or food must be overcome in the same way. First, you have to detox from the drug (i.e., get it out of your system), and then get help to kick the habit and beat it so it does not continue to control you.

I have tried so many different diets that I could probably be a spokesperson for all of them! Unfortunately, I am a carbaholic and a compulsive overeater. I just can't be on any type of diet that is low fat, high fiber, high carb. Maybe it's my genetic make-up, maybe it's my blood type. I just know, though, that I can only lose weight through a low-carb diet such as DANDR.

I've spend probably thousands of dollars on diet plans and never succeded. I've watched others on these programs succeed, only to stop and gain all of their weight back. Heck, I gained ALL of my weight back after I went off this WOE that I have chosen for myself. I can't afford to quit or stop this time. I have to do this for myself and most importantly for my health.

Being 350+ pounds at one time in my 20's was not acceptable. No one should be that big. Yes, it's overeating, but there's alot more to it. Emotional eating is a big problem I have. I eat when I need comfort, I eat when I'm stressed, I eat when I'm feeling depressed, and heck, I even eat (most of the time), when I'm not even hungry!

It's time for me to stop this cycle of overeating, changing diet plans, going back to atkins, weighing myself after a week and getting frustrated; going off, getting back into ketosis, going off, etc. This time, it's personal. I'm not stopping for nothing! I look forward to sharing this journey with anyone who would like to listen. I believe one day I will beat this and then be able to help others overcome their obesity problem. Right now I just have to take it one low-carb meal at a time!

Saturday

Posted 04-12-2008 at 08:14 AM by CourtneyC
Today's Food Items:

2 lemon cream cheese muffins
chicken kabobs in a soy/wurstachur sauce with vegies.
Coffee w/cream and equal

Today is not so bad. I am actually tired and can feel myself getting into ketosis. It is day three so I'm not surprised. I'm waiting to weigh myself until next week as I'm certain that I probably haven't lost much. Although, I have been going to the bathroom quite a bit.

I haven't yet had any extraordinary cravings so things are ok. We'll see how this weekend fairs as usually when I'm home it's harder

Again

Posted 04-10-2008 at 01:36 PM by CourtneyC
Here I am again. It's been a while but I realize the more I stay away, the miserable I am. It's like I have to keep reminding myself that this WOL does work and it's the BEST thing for me.

Reasons:

1. I feel so tired and sluggish after I eat foods that are heavy in carbs.

2. I have a negative self-image when I don't eat on this plan.

3. I am unmotivated, lazy and tired.

4. My thinking isn't even right when off plan.

5. I have lots of friends I can come to for support that I don't get anywhere else....

New Start

Posted 02-12-2008 at 08:58 AM by CourtneyC
So here I am..one again starting this program after desperatly trying Medifast, Weight Watchers and Jenny Craig...Again. Why oh why do I torture myself like this? I know that DANDR is the only plan that works for me and yet I continue to waste my money on programs that I think will work but don't for my body type.

I think there's some truth in the fact that depending on what type of blood type you have and what type of body you have, different diets work for you. I've seen alot of people be very successful on low-fat diets, etc. However, for some reason (unknown to me) they...

The Eve of My Journey

Posted 01-26-2008 at 09:53 PM by CourtneyC
So it is the eve of my journey and once again I have thrown out all of my non-Atkins friendly food. Fortunately for me I have been eating out quite a bit and didn't have much. Oh how much money I have wasted on this process.

I am feeling very good about my re-induction tomorrow. I know it wont' be easy (especially since TOM is coming) but you know what? Now is the time to just do it. I'm sick of talking about it. I've got a great support system (this site) and I am ready to jump right in. No longer am I going to discuss my eating plan with anyone (friends and family) either.
