analisa1968's Journal, 25 April 2014

Okay so I went for my physical for my job today. Stepped on the scale and gained 8 lbs since last July. Wasn't happy. I bought a battery for my scale so that I can now keep track. Wondering if I shouldn't weigh myself and just go by what my clothes are telling me. I was discouraged when I saw the number on the scale. I started Atkins on Monday, and didn't weigh myself. I just need to keep on plugging away and not look back. This is the heaviest I have ever been. My clothes don't feel any different, but it hasn't been a week. If there are any veteran Atkins dieters out there who could look at my food journal and let me know what they think of my intake, calories and carbs I would appreciate it. I need to know if I'm on the right track. My typical way of thinking when dieting would be to stay away from fats and everything would be fat free and low cal. It's hard to think that fats are "good".

193.0 lb Lost so far: 36.0 lb.    Still to go: 13.0 lb.    Diet followed reasonably well.
