I have been doing so serious soul searching and learning who I am. This food issue I have been carrying around will not interfere in my life anymore! I do not need to eat because I am stressed, sad, angry, put out, alone, or even happy. I need to eat to survive that is all. I will eat when I am hungry and not because of any other reason. Chocolate isnt a cure, sugar does not love me, and potatoes do not make everything better!
I am having a bit of a hard time personally and I know I have been turning to the atkins bars for comfort occasionally. This is not going to make me achieve my goal it is stopping me. I will use them as they were meant to be used as an OCCASIONAL substitute when there is no other healthy choice readily available. They are not going to make a regular appearance in my diet because I am being lazy or seeking pleasure from my food.
I will accomplish my goals with hard work determination and perserverance. I am going to find a reward that can become progressively larger the more weight I lose, just havent came up with the right one yet. I will find a way to be the me I used to be!
I need to keep track of my feelings and goals so I can be accountable for them and not pretend things are not happening. I need to put myself first in this and not worry so much about how others percieve me or even if they like me. This journey has to be about me and my life. Only then can I be strong for those that matter to me.
I am thankful for all the new friends here in my life, those that give me great feedback and constuctive criticism, those that applaud my success and those that help me keep my eye on the prize. You are all an inspiration and I will use this tool to the best of my ability. Hoping that everyone has a great day that you all stay positive and that you stay on your track to your goals!

I loved reading this post this morning. Sometimes it is very hard for me to fight the old ways and learn a new way of living, even if we know it is the one that works! I have been struggling with that too, and it makes it so much easier knowing there are folks here on my side! Good luck to you, I know we can do this!!

Lisa you are right we can do this! We will all have our bad days, I know I have and will thats life the important thing is no matter how bad the day is we need to perservere! Make good decisions and when we have a setback not let that define us by giving up.
Good luck to you as well, have a great day!

You have said all that I feel also. I was relying on the bars as an in between meal snack and think they may be stalling my progress. I bought the ketone sticks and they show I am in the small when I eat the bars. I have to remember this is a slow process, not fast. We can do this. I am thankful for now being able to control myself from eating bread, pasta and rice. I do feel better. I think we have to give a week at a time progession and not let the scale dictate how we feel.
