Pep talk from Dr. Atkins
"But you can make it the best body possible if you don't fall into the trap of demanding a perfect figure and weight loss schedule that exists only in your head. You can succeed only if you forgive yourself your missteps.....you'll hit plateaus, lose a little ground or sometimes lose more slowly than you would like. I can assure you that you will most likely succeed by doing Atkins, but each one of you will succeed differently, at a different pace. "
That's from Dr. Atkins' New Diet Revolution.
I needed to read that this morning. I had thought that the scale was finally headed down again. Wrong. I weighed myself this morning, and I gained 4 pounds! Aargh. Maybe I should quit weighing myself every week and just weigh in once a month. I am going to be in a foul mood all day over this, even though I know that is not fat gain. I ate some extra calories over the weekend, about 700 a day more than usual. But only some of them were carbs. Most of this must be water weight.
Weight loss at 40 for women does not happen at the speed of light. I know that. But sometimes I am scared that the pounds will never come off.
