Rory's Journal

Day one of a very long journey that I have taken before.

A little background. I started Atkins about 3 years ago and lost 75 pounds. I hit a major stall, and just sort of gave up. I've probably gained all of it back by now, I don't know because I don't have a scale. Which is part of the problem. I'm struggling with my determination, and keeping on track. I didn't cheat or even have one sweet thing, not even with Splenda, for about 4 months the last time. I drank nothing but water, NOTHING, for 6 months. Why can't I get that determination back?

I need to do several things this week. Get a scale that will weigh over 300 pounds, take ANOTHER before picture, which I hate, and pull all of my husband's clothes off of my treadmill.

I'm not sure if I want to do a protein fast to kickstart things, or just do a clean induction. I've already made a mistake by eating polish sausage that had 6 carbs per sausage. But considering what I've been eating, that's pretty good. I'm awaiting the proverbial headache that comes in the first few days, and looking forward to being able to get out of bed in the mornings and not limp to the bathroom because I'm in so much pain. (I don't know why carbs make me hurt.)

Lord, help me to be everything you created me to be. I know that I was not meant for a life of pain, embarrassment, and bad health, but of strength, hope, and a sound mind. Help me to see the decisions I make in a clear light, and help me to follow your will for my body. Amen

Day 2 and going strong. Between work and homeschool and housework I'm not having a very good day. It seems like I do so much but move backwards. I guess this depression was to be expected due to hitting low carb levels. I'm cranky and just plain tired.

Rory - HANG IN THERE...get through the withdrawal period and you will be okay. You have done this before and you know it will get better...but giving in isn't an option

I think like somebody posted in the CC for you...remember this is not a diet, but a lifestyle change...make it something you can live with...

One day/meal at a time...

We are supporting you
