Starting again for the 80th time.

SkyIan · 01-02-2007, 04:29 PM

Okay not really 80 but it feels like it!

I tried some other "diets" but this is still the only plan that has worked for me. So I guess it's meant to be aye?
Atkins made me sick. Weight watchers was too much work.LOL
Others just didnt work.
Plus, my doctor wants me to do something lower carbish but didnt say exactly what.
I am insulin resistant.So I dont metabolize carbs. also I have a touch of hypoglycemia.
All signs point in the SB directions. So tomorrow morning I start new. And I need someone to hold my hand because I get very crabby during induction!LOL
A little else about me. I am going to be 35 next month. I am married with 2 kids,go to college, looking for work and we live in Michigan.

I think the 80th time is a charm

. Welcome-I too have started over on The beach...........gained the weight back I had lost last spring but my mind is set and I'm determed and tomorrow will be day 3. Hopefully the headaches and the cravings will be gone b/c the brownies have been calling my name today so I feed some to my children lol.

Welcome! We are all in the same boat here. Just jump in again and go for it. My motto: "Just keep on keeping on". We never know.....this just may be the 1 time it kicks in and works. I wonder how many times we are just an inch from winning or overcoming in an area of life and we give up just a "little" too soon because we don't see results as quick as we want.

Good luck!!!! Good luck to us all!!!

Day 3 for me and I resisted the brownies yesterday!!! I was very very hungry yesterday but kept on plan and made good choices. Today I'm not as hungry. I had some chicken salad in lettuce and a small square of cheese for bkf, lunch was a salad with some thinly sliced flank steak and I did have some sf jello. Dinner will probably be steak, broccoli & salad. If I feel the need for a snack probable small amt almonds. I feel so much better physically and mentally knowing I'm eating whats good for me and making a change in my body. Goodluck to us all
