Reading again - The new Atkins for a New You - and have to discover, that not too much has changed besides the weight loss. The symptoms of a high carb meal are still current. I feel tired and shortly after a meal I have a craving for more. Not necessarily something sweet, was never much of a sweets eater, but something to eat. That's what I described a few days ago as "hungry as a wolf". I am really wondering if I will ever get over it.
What bothers me even more is being tired. Reading, listening to a presentation, not matter how interesting it is, I have a very, very hard time to stay awake. Even now I have to stop and do something else in order not to fall asleep over the book. So tired!
More energy, I am still dreaming of it. Nope, did not happen. That in itself does not help much since I would like to exercise, do something but don't have the energy for it. Just want to sleep.
So, no wonder I am wondering. But only wondering, not quitting. I see it as no way out. I know it works at least for my weight, maybe the rest will show up in a distant future. But I know for sure that I can't let go of this way of eating or I will gain every little ounce back.
So, no worries to my friends here, I am sticking with Atkins. I am just wondering, wondering, wondering.
