Sep 13, 2011

 So, it's been a while again since I wrote.  I've lost and gained a little since then, the main thing is that I kept the majority of it off and now I'm at it again.  I'm doing Atkins again, it works best for me.  I have a friend who does great on WW and another one who didn't.  Some do low fat.  I say do the research on all of the diets out there and figure out which one works for you.  I chose Atkins because I had to give up the least.  Carbs make me feel physically bad but emotionally good, which is where the problem comes in.  I still have that psychological need for food to feel good.  So, I can eat as much meat as I want and have found a few veggies that I can disguise so that I can get in my daily carbs.  I cheat a little, I never gave up caffine, but I managed to still lose.  The funny thing is that now when I cheat (as I did this past weekend) I eat blackberries, grapes, bananas and apples.

If anyone reading this (doubt it will happen) is doing something other than simply having surgery, please let me know!  I feel like I'm out here alone and would really like to talk to someone about it.  For that matter, if you've realized you have a food addiction or just want to talk to someone who has good and bad periods on this journey, hollar at me!!!

I keep a daily journal with my intake and calculators for my diet with a few extra details just to help me analyze my progress/failures that I made myself.  I weigh daily but only count weekly totals.  I do measurements weekly as well.  It really helps to look at things and see what is going on.

Luck and love to all!

Oh!  I have started participating in charity walks.  I do Carolina Canines Walk for Those Who Can't and Brenner Children's Hospital has started a Walk to Fight Childhood Obesity-inagural walk was this past Saturday!  Hope to add more walks this year!
