A whole new me.

Tomorrow will be my first day back on Atkins. Last January I went on Atkins for the first time and lost 62 pounds by May 1st. Unfortunetly I gained all of my pre weight back. I have attempted many times since then to get back on this WOL. It seems like a harder battle this time around. I am under a bit more stress and have less time for myself now. I am really hoping to staying committed to Low Carb lifestyle. I hope to meet new friends who I can help encourage and who can encourage me as well. My goal is to lose about 110 pounds. Realistically I would be happy with a 80 pound loss.

I have never been an extremely overweight person but, I was a big overeater. I was a latchkey kid so, most of the time I spent alone I would eat to compensate for my boredom. I also did alot of hiding it because my mother would get onto me about what and how much I was eating.

I eventually became bullemic because I wanted to be thinner than I was I felt huge next to my size 0 and 3 friends. I wore a size 9 -11 and weighed anywhere from 130-145. Not too overweight for my height of 5'6. I continued bullemia for 2 years. A friend finally called me out on it. I knew that something needed to change but, I wasn't sure how to do it.

I then stopped eating and took phen Phen. I passed out one day and realized that It was probably not the best choice. After a horrible year I turned to food once again and packed on 20 pounds. Not too soon afterward I became pregnant and gained about 80 pounds during my pregnancy. Luckily for me I was 19 and I lost 60 pounds in a matter of two months.
I was finally back at 140 pounds.

I got pregnant again and gained back 50 pounds then plus some because I was living a less active lifestyle.

by the time baby number 3 came along I was already hitting the 200 pound mark. Now I am at 240 pounds. I am just very unhappy with myself at this point. I am disapointed that I haven't had the willpower to just get back on. I felt so great while I was losing. I had so much energy. I know that if I could just get past the two week induction period I would start to do wonderfully.

I really need some support. I have had an extremely rough year and I am looking forward to feeling happy with myself again.

I have a clothing boutique with my mother and I feel horrible that 90% of the clothes in there won't fit. I do not go out on outings anymore because I feel ashamed of the way I look. I am 29 years old and my goal is to be 130 at 30. I have 10 months to do this so wish me luck and I will do the same for you.

I have some girls that have prepaid for dresses that have yet to arrive altough they were suppose to arrive yesterday. I have two unhappy customers.

Day 3

It was actually pretty easy yesterday. I think just knowing that the food might taste good for a couple of seconds but, the feeling when the weight loss just starts rolling off will definetly be so much greater. I own a boutique and most of the clothes do not fit me in the boutique. My first goal I guess is to get to 195.That's about 30 pounds. I am giving myself two months to reach it. If I do then I am going to reward myself by giving myself 50.00 to spend on whatever I like. I would say 199 but, It's a little too close to 200. I know when I got to the 199 part last time. I was so please with myself. I was no longer in the 2's. I'm going to do this. I have been putting it off too long. I got so many compliments when the weight started coming off. I really felt great about myself. I started doing more for myself. I just got preoccupied with the business and didn't have time for my excersize then just kept prolongining it. I am hoping for better willpower this year.

Right now I am wearing a 16 to an 18. I am at according to my scale 222 pounds Well that was the day that I started. I haven't weighed myself yet though. I am going to wait until next Tuesday.

My Diet yesterday

A.M. Slim Fast Low Carb Peanut butter bar
24 oz water
1 piece sugarfree gum
3 carbs
P.M.
5 slices of pepperoni
24oz water
6oz chicken breast seasoned w/ adobo
1 cup of romaine lettuce
3 tablespoons of Italian Carb Options dressing
3 carbs

snack
This is where it goes bad. I had a 1/2 a can of regular coke

I was really thirsty and that's all we had in the house. Yes, water I know but, we have well water here and it's not the best tasting stuff. Tonight I will make sure that I buy some water for the house. The baby is still sleeping I am actually going to try and get some excersize in.

Goals:
222-195 27-30 pounds.

Stay below 20 carbs
Excersize 3 x a week Pilates
Walk 2x a week
Drinking at least 48-64 oz of water a day.

Next time I go shopping I am going to buy tons of tuna. This was really big in helping me the last time.
