I started back in June this year. Had done Atkins before 2 years ago, but had the wrong mindset - didn't think of it as a WOL, just a diet to get to where I wanted to go with weight loss. No surprise I fell off the wagon and gained all the weight back plus 10 lbs. Finally got motivated again and am not really weighing myself - maybe every month. I ge too discouraged if I don't lose weight quick and have to continually remind myself that this is how I will eat the rest of my life, and I have that long to lose weight. It helps when I get the carb cravings. I plateaued for 6 weeks, (Aug and part of Sept) and found that I was too into the low carb chocolate bars and fruit and had stalled myself. Now, I've eaten too many carbs this week what with that stomach virus (I only like toast and chicken noodle soup when I am sick!). So, here I am on Monday, feeling better and back on Atkins.
Garlic bread does me the same way! I have to leave the kitchen when we have spaghetti.
At least you keep starting over again. Good for you! That take willpower. We can do this. It feels so much better to be more slender.
