Back to Atkins... I lost 50 lbs in 2010 on atkins and I have currently put 25lb of it back on (more or less) I kinda went back to eating normally straight away after 7 months on induction. I think with hindsight I never did it all properly. I was either on a really strict induction diet or all out gorging on sugar, my poor body hasn't known how to cope, I have been watching it all come back on , attempting to count calories , tried atkins again, went to weight watchers - and all that happens is I end up coming straight off the wagon and eating more. I stubbornly though that atkins isn't viable for life long committment. But is putting 15lb on in a year a committment to what ? Getting fat? I recognise that I have a problem with cravings and my insulin production is haywire so I know what needs to be done. In way , it's almost like coming back to an old friend who I know so well! But this time I want to do it right. I want to lose 28 lbs. So I am going on induction for 3 weeks and then moving up. I am doing net carbs , cos I always did well on them. I struggle with the whole " am I a food addict thing" AM I?
Will I always be looking for the days when I can let myself go?
Will I ever be able to embrace this life long change with the gusto it needs?

Once your body gets thru the first few days, and you begin to turn this buggy around, you will start to lose weight. And when you do... you need to ask yourself this time - do you want to keep it off. If so, then learning to enjoy the BEST foods for you and your body is key to transforming this into a lifetime way of eating. The core 98% of your eating - will be protein at every meal and snack. Veggies galore!! Fresh yummy tasty delish veggies! And then add to that the things that round out your specifics... like a little fruit once or twice a week, a few almonds, a bit of avocado, etc, etc, etc... You can one day be back at your goal weight, and back to a time when you can incorporate activity and exercise consistently... and then you can PLAN on the random and occasional 'treat'. But it has to be a well thought out plan, and one you can accept the terms of. You will have to always be sure to enjoy the heck out it... and then go right back to your 'normal way of eating' for a solid 2-4 weeks before planning another minor indulgence. It cannot become an every other day, or every other meal type of thing. It will never be that. I love you... you can do this Jill!!! Much Love.

Thanks Paula. I am going to do those lists on that life coach thing you flagged. Haven't got time tonight as on an early shift tomorrow and need to get my beauty sleep ;) Plus I need to be up a bit earlier to organise my food for the day!
