~*~Kim's~*~ *~Starting Over Journal~*

KimandBrian · 03-20-2007, 06:27 PM

I had another journal but I thought I'd start another one because I am getting ready to get back on plan. I had been on Atkin's for about 8 months, lost almost 60 pounds and went off back in November. Since then my weight has fluctuated between 228 and 236, I'd rather it go down instead of back and forth. I have tried so many time to start the induction phase of Atkin's and everytime I do I fail, it seems to go fine during the day then when night hits it's like I turn into this carb eating monster! I just don't stop until I'm ready to bust. I think some of it has to do with stress and emotional things that are going on right now in my life. Food becomes my friend, it comforts me, never tells me how to run my life or what to do. I really never wish I had went off plan in the first place because it's so hard to get back on track right now. The other reason for getting back on track is because I am having heart problems right now and I'm scared to death. I really think this last 70 pounds I need to lose is starting to effect my body in a negative way because I've carried it for so long. I'm trying to get motivated to get back to the gym but that's hard also and I have no clue why! But anyhow I think I'll end this here for tonight and plan on getting back on track starting Monday

Hi Karen! Thanks for the motivation!

A lot has happened in the last few days. I have had numerous agencies contact me wanting to shoot me. I have set something up with a couple of photographers who are willing to to a TFP (Trade For Portfolio) so it's ALL FREE! YAYYYY! A new plus size magazine called Skortch is interested in featuring me in their magazine but I have to get these pictures in my portfolio first. They really like the pic I sent them which is my Avatar on here. Besides all of that I'm back on track with Atkin's and have lost a few pounds, even though it's most likely water weight I'm still happy to see the scale go down for a change!

Good for you! Sounds like a lot of fun!

My weight is going up unfortunately... as my journal in here states. Not sure why, still tweaking my program and trying new things. We shall overcome!
