Dulce1984's Journal, 01 September 2008

I'm so ready to lose this weight! Since I started Atkins a few weeks ago I've dropped 14 pounds. 4 of those 14 have been on FS. I'm so happy to have found FS because I know this is exactly what I need to keep me focused and hold my hand during this journey. It's inspirational to see other peoples successes. I've never been so happy for people I've never met in my life, lol. I feed off the positive energy of this site and in return I want to do better for myself. I'm really looking forward to meeting more people in similar struggles as myself and also those who have conquered the battle and have reached their goal. I'm excited about learning more from those with more experience and knowledge.

Today is my first day journaling for the challenge and I am feeling pumped. I'm also on the 20NC Challenge so journaling all of my food intake and feelings will help towards that challenge as well. For breakfast I ate 2 fried eggs with salt and pepper and a little bit of hot sauce, 3 Vienna sausage links, 2 slices of Muenster cheese and 8oz. of diet green tea. Great low carb breakfast because it was tasty and I felt satisfied, not full or hungry. I went to my parents for a little BBQ and ate about 3/4 oz. of Cheddar and 3/4 oz. of Monterey Jack cheese and one sweet sausage for appetizer and then for the main course enjoyed a nice plentiful sized Porterhouse steak with about 2 cups of salad along with one can of Diet Coke. The Salad included spinach, cherry tomatoes, and cucumbers and I added about 2 tbsp. of Ranch dressing. I felt really good after that meal. Very satisfied.

I'm starting to figure out the right point where I am no longer hungry so I don't over eat and get that awful stuffed feeling. Today was a really great day. I made the right choices and I feel really good about myself. I wanted to stop eating at around 9:00pm but since I ate my lunch and dinner combined practically, I was feeling a little hungry at around 9:30ish and had a light snack of Chicken breast deli slices and Muenster cheese. Tomorrow I am going to try to space out my meals and snacks better so I can stop eating at around 8:00pm. Hopefully tomorrow I can set up a better eating schedule. Until then, I guess.....Ciao!

It sounds like you are making great choices. That late night eating is a problem for me, too. I'm trying not to eat after 9pm for now. If I can accomplish that throughout the 20 Carb Challenge, I will feel pretty darn good!!

Congrats on your first day. I agree with the energy and support on this site. It is wonderful. This is what I needed too. Most of my friends are stick skinny or simply don't care so they aren't as supportive as those that live with the weight issues every day. My boyfriend is a twig who can eat whatever he wants to. He insists he loves me the way I am which is great but I don't love me the way I am so being here with people who struggle as I do really helps me feel less alone. Best of luck to you on the rest of your journey!

You're doing great so far! 14 pounds is a lot! And can I just say I am sooo jealous of people on Atkins for the amount of cheese and meat you get to have? :)
