well weighed myself today . I am just starting back after 2 weeks of trying to get my atkins life back. so mad I am up 9 lbs. I had only lost 12 to start with .. I guess the only good thing is I know now that i can't be 'normal' as my hubby calls it. I just can't eat what i want.
I have hypothroid disease and it has ruinned my body, but it can't ruin me.
I am a very active person ( i teach group fitness classes) but still gain weight very easily.
The crazy thing is I of all people know how to eat, its just those rules don't work for me. I am not extremly over weight, just not thin, and a total "pear" body shape.
I just pray I have the strengh to see this through this time. NO MATTER WHAT!!!
Sorry I am just rambling on, just needed sapport and to vent.
Thanks everyone.... Hope you all have a great low crab day!!!

Sometimes our typos really DO show how we feel.

I know what you mean about "I can't eat normally". But so what? Most people are getting fatter from "eating normally". So I will eat specially suited to me for losing any weight I want and I might even get into exercising (which would be amazing for me.)

Some of those 9 pounds are surely water and will go away soon. So use the anger and turn it into determination to keep to the plan for weeks and months.

All the best.

Well hang in there cause when you get to maintenance, Life is so much easier, now not that you can go whole hog and eat everything,LOL, but boy it's very liveable compared to induction.

Cheers kathy

oh i really really feel for you ! All of my super skinny friends eat whatever they want.If I ate like them I would be huge. Its truly isnt fair, but you know what, life isnt fair, now we are forced to eat healthy which will benefit us in the long run
