[COLOR="Blue"]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![/COLOR]

Again
Posted 04-10-2008 at 02:36 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.
Today's foods:
Pork chop with Ken's Steakhouse Ranch Dressing
Grilled chicken, lettuce, bacon, onion and cucumber slices with creamy garlic dressing

Hi Courtney,
I am really feeling your post. You took the words right out of my mouth, mind - whatever! You really sound FED UP! I am at that point too! FED UP! I truly believe when one is SICK AND TIRED OF BEING SICK AND TIRED - THEY MAKE CHANGES FOR THE BETTER! We are both at this point and most make the changes we need in order to succeed. We know ATKINS works! We just have to do it!! Let's both agree to stick with it this time. Consistency is key! Never give up! You can do this  |
