I have been reading a lot lately about body image around here and its importance. Do you know what is funny? When I'm somewhat overweight I look in the mirror and think "I'm not so bad". But as I lose I think "OMG, what happened here?!" I can't understand why I feel so huge as I actually am going down in weight, but not bad when I'm heavier. It's a puzzler.

Well...after successfully losing to within 10lbs of my goal weight and maintaining it for a few years, I find myself right back at square 1.

Female trouble, family stress, etc. have all contributed to the gain.

I am ready, psyched and headed for the goal line!

Induction - Day 1

This morning I had an egg w/a piece of cheese.

For lunch I had some ground turkey w/rotel, onions, jalapenos and a little cheese.

Supper? Not sure...steak maybe.

Lovin the Atkins plan!

An article in th NY Times led me to some blogs about Body Acceptance
and ... Health at Every Size.

Over the next few days I will do some more digging into this subject.
It is sad to read how fat people who are dieting describe themselves.

Down another lb today, that makes 11 total! I can't believe it!! I am now at 189! The 190's flew right by!! Let's hope the 180's do the same.

I have decided to stay on induction for a while. I like the food I'm eating, I don't miss anything, so why change? I'd like to get to goal ASAP, and I believe induction will get me there. Once I hit goal, I'll slowly start to add in things, but not much. I really enjoy not eating carbs, I feel better. Eventually I'll add in some more greens, and possibly even LC bread, we'll see. But, for now, I'm happy with things the way they are.
