Calling in this round... And OK with it.
 

I'm on day 12 of Round 2 and calling it in... I have not been consistent with my drops, eating or this round at all. My head isn't in it. I need a couple more weeks to more properly shop and prepare my stock and mentally get ready. I am OK with this decision. I find it a better alternative than continuing to feel the failure of this round. I am currently LDW-2, so I will try to stabilize and begin again on 2/1/13 for a "R2 redux!"

Something I gained by doing my first round (I lost 20 lbs) was that I have a problem with alcohol. I mean a real, legit problem. When I started this program on 10/1/12, I never knew it would show me how dependent I was on it. Today, I'm 40 days sober, and active in my recovery using AA tools and a lot of prayer. Part of this includes self-care, and so my getting to a healthy weight is in line with that. I successfully completed 21 days of P3 on 12/23/12 and stabilized like a rock star (+1 LDW) and I know this program works.

I just felt a little out of control the last two weeks, and couldn't get into a rhythm with P2 again... I'm just not ready. So, I'll go back to P3 for the remainder of the month, and start anew next month...

Good luck to you in P3 and when you go back to P2. And CONGRATULATIONS on your stabilization, your sobriety, and your decision to change your life! :up:

Hon I feel for you :console::console: This round for me has been sucky. I have not been in it for a while either. Wishing you the best!!

Thanks guys... I need to be more active on here and learn from your experience. I suffered through a LONG 40 day round last time, and I won't ever do that again! I'm going only 23-30 days, depending on how I feel. Learning to take queues from my body and trust in the process is something new to me, the over controller. Learning... ;)

Take a break and then come back when you are ready... One thing I felt when i did R2, that R1 was easier, I think our motivation is stronger on R1... R3 my motivation is as strong as R1, so i think that has a lot to do with what your body and mind will give into...

Great your going to AA and all, admitting your dependence is half the battle. I commend you for even talking about it here... Stay Strong and remember, "If it is to Be, Its Up to Me"

I commend you, as well.

And I want to say that R2's (as in your "real" one, coming up), CAN be just as dedicated and strong as R1's. I just finished my second round, with no less resolve, no less "head in the game," and no less of a loss average. It CAN be done.
