Mid-Week Check-In
I can't believe how 2 lousy little pounds can send me into such a tizzy. Since this happened, I feel I have been careless in what I eat, deciding to count points AND watch carbs but not be so strict about them, and see how I do. I started that just yesterday. I stayed within my points fine and didn't have many extra carbs, but today! O.M.G.
I shouldn't have made Beef Stroganoff for dinner. I had planned on my 5 oz pork chop with broccoli but I had no strength when that Stroganoff was ready. Not only did i have a huge helping of THAT, but I also had a bowl of Frosted Flakes (Yes, they were greeeeat!). I should just throw that box of cereal OUT, but my son wouldn't like that very well.
.. and here I sit, hours after I ate all this and do I feel like it was worth it? NO!!! My stomach feels as though there's a lead weight just sittin' in there. It was TOO HEAVY of a meal. I need to remember this feeling; it could possibly help me stay in line.
Needless to say, I am disappointed in myself. And I feel bad that in a way, I've let YOU down. :"> Silly huh?
Well, I promise to myself and you ... that tomorrow will be an on-point, or on-Atkins kind of day for me. Because this time tomorrow, I wanna feel good about myself. I hate feeling the way that I do right this minute.
Good night All. Thanks for listening.

I realize, after re-reading my post, that I really cannot do 'Adkins' part ways - by counting points as well as. I read a journal entry just a few minutes ago about someone who has lost almost 80 lbs by sticking to the Atkins and the key is to BE CREATIVE with the meals. She even gave me a website to check out. That's going to be my plan first thing tomorrow morning over coffee. Here's the site: www.genaw.com (Thank you Crystal)

Hi Babe53! Thank you for sharing this and for your honesty! =) Maybe you can turn this experience into a positive one by remembering how you felt after eating all that the next time you are tempted to cheat. We all have days like that. What's important is how we regain control afterwards and not allow it to go waaay out of control.

Ziva, great advice and wisdom. Babe, I know that awful feeling of the lead weight. It's horrible, isn't it? I don't understand why it has to feel so bad, but I suppose it's good that it does. I haven't felt bad after eating in so long, I can't recall the feeling except after reading your journal. Ugh. It's enough to keep me honest for a good, long time! Thank you and stick to your guns, whatever they may be.

I have not been taking my weight loss seriously at all with all of the snow we've had here in the south.........we don't get snow, sent my routine completely into a tizzy too. Sun is shining today and it is a perfect day to start again.

Don't sabotage yourself, use setbacks as inspiration. Everyday is a brand new day to get a fresh start. Love yourself today.
