May 21, 2013 Day 1 New Beginning
Ok, so about 10 years ago I started following the Atkins diet. I did not follow the "book" diet per se, I simply elimated all refined/processed carbohydrates from my diet. If it contained carbs, I did not eat it.
This worked very well for me and I quickly dropped the weight. Although I would continuously struggle with 5 pounds (+/-) I was comfortable with my weight.
I then got a little depressed, and the weight started to creep on. At first, I tried to get back into the swing of things, but again tried to "modify" low carb eating by allowing myself the "good carbs" such as fruit, whole grains, etc. And of course I did not want to give up my wine!
Well,despite my best efforts (and looking back my best efforts were half ass) I am now a full 30 pounds heavier than I was 3 years ago and I am completely miserable with my body image. I have had to buy new clothes for every season for the last 3 years and I have decided that ENOUGH IS ENOUGH. If I do not get this weight under control, I will lose. I've heard that it gets harder as we age, and I am now 13 years older than I was when I originally started the low carb lifestyle but I am confident that I CAN DO THIS.
Stay Tuned....
