Having been at 280 where you are now, let me just say that this is the best weight loss program I have ever found and IT WORKS!
My kids and husband are my motivation. I want to be around for them, I want to be able to play with them and not get tired so fast. I can do all that now and more.
You will have times when you fall off the wagon, and that's ok, everyone does, the important thing is that you learn from it and get back on track on the next meal. Don't think, oh well I screwed up I'll start over tomorrow, cause that will just make matters worse. And the one cheat may not even make you gain but if you continue eating the wrong way just cause you messed up once you may gain the next day and then you'll feel depressed and frustrated and even feel like giving up. Atkins works, but only if you let it work.
The forum is great and everyone here is real supportive. No one judges you or makes fun of you. They've been where you are at and are where you want to go. Read post, look at the gallery section, post your questions answers to others questions. We are here to learn from each other and to support one another. Together we will help you to succeed.
Though we are here for you we can't make you do anything, so you have to want to succeed to achieve this. When you feel like having a cheat just think, is this gonna make me happy? If your answer is yes than have it, but is delaying your weight loss for that one cheat worth it? Does it taste better than being healthy and slimmer?
Your the driver in this ride honey, we are just the wheels that support the journey.
YOU CAN DO IT, and WE are all here for you!
Hugs!
