Ok, I just finally realized that I HAVE TO BE POSITIVE about Atkins Induction and stop letting myself obsess about foods I can't have. It's been tricky having different diet goals than my hubby. He gets cranraisins and Zoi Greek honey yogurt instead of his usual daily bags of gummy bears and cakes, but cranraisins and honey yogurt are actually 2 of my favs.
Yesterday, I made it all the way to bedtime without cheating. Then that Costco size bag of cranraisins next to him got to me and I told myself just a few, which led to handfuls followed by yogurt. I dreamt of gooey oatmeal and today I almost quit my 12 week Atkins challenge I felt so guilty. Before I gained all this weight My favs were steak and eggs, but now I have to almost force myself to buy and eat these things. Since joining Fatsecret I see protein has become a very small percentage of my diet.
More than ever I need to give Induction a chance and get some perspective. I almost told myself that my biggest pleasure comes from food. Woah! Now I can add crazy to the list. And then I realized that is why it has been so hard-Because I am telling myself how hard it is! If I don't get control of this... Of course I will obssess and fail.
I will give myself positive reminders throughout the day. I'm going to be happy about MY CHOICES and I need to find NEW REWARDS that don't involve food.
