I didn't post anything last week because I didn't gain or lose -- just stayed the same. No point in posting. Last Wednesday (after staying the same on Monday) I decide to really TRY the Atkins diet and the first stage -- what he calls Induction. I've done pretty well in following it, although I have had a regular ice cream sandwich a couple of evenings. Otherwise, I've been eating only salad with regular dressing, meat, cheese (the real stuff, not the processed cheese food), and eggs. No bread, no pasta, no rollups, no sugar (except for the aforementioned ice cream sandwiches). When I weighed in this week I was down 4.2 pounds to 193.2. Cool.
Not that I believe I'll STAY down to 193.2 or below at WW weigh-in, but at least now I feel like I'm in control. Like I finally know how to do this. I finally figured out that if I eat carbs, I gain weight.
And to top it off, I feel GOOD. Not hungry, jittery, lightheaded, nothin'. I just feel good. I'm happy my weight is finally going down. I really believe in this low carb way of eating, and I believe people are just killing themselves by eating all the sugars and other carbs. I'm so glad I talked to Erma and finally figured it out for myself.
