I can remember when I first started out, over a year ago. I tried for a day and did okay, and then we went out to eat and I went off. Then I tried again and failed to stay with it. I was thinking to myself that I couldn't give up all the carby things that I loved to eat. I had already given up pasta because I found that I would make a whole package and eat it until it was gone in about 2-3 meals. Well, I decided to try it again. I made it through almost 2 weeks and had a slip up. I figured, well I lost 12 pounds already, let's just keep on trying. So I kept at it. I had started in the third week of August 2000, around Thanksgiving I had extra squash and stuffing and cranberry sauce, but I managed to not have any potatoes. Tried to get back on the program and eventually my body got back with the program. Christmas...same thing just about, but I found that I had to wait longer for my body to get back onto a loosing weight track. Then I was steady on the program until March or April, when I found out that I would need to look for a new job. I stayed on pretty good, but every time something good happened I would go off for a meal, everytime I went for an interview (2 hour drive or more) I would eat out and go off for a meal. I was not following the program but I didn't gain too much, say 6 pounds. This fall after I started my new job I got back into a loosing streak and lost those 6 and another 6. Then Halloween came and I overendulged in low carb treats. I ended up with a Splenda hangover! Well, the scale went up again. It's finally coming back down. I'd really like to get these last 10-15 pounds off before the holidays and try to maintain them, but if I can't, I suppose I will just have to try and try again!
Don't give up!
