Reina Estrella's Journal, 07 January 2009

With a heavy heart, I have decided to leave Atkins alone.

I'm doing MY version of WW. I'm not relying solely on points, but am staying within my allowance of points.

After reading Jillian's book, Losing By Winning, I have calculated how many calories that I need to consume each day, so in addition to staying within my points limit, I'm also limiting calories.

I am still very much sugar free and lower carb, however, I am also low fat as well...which can't be a bad thing.

I just set myself up to fail every time I do atkins. I can't stay on it for too long.

I needed a plan that I could stick to for a lifetime. I needed to learn how to eat what I love, "normal" foods like bread, noodles, and potatoes in moderation and I know this will help me.

Hi Kiki - Mbhpro is right. You have to go with what works best for you. Congrats on recognizing this is a life long process. If you think you can do WW forever then you made the right decision. Good Luck! I hope you get the results you are looking for!

Bravo to you! I think it is always about finding a plan that you yourself can life with the rest of your life. It's really about learning what works for our bodies and what we can live with. If it seems like something you can do, then go for it!! You never know till you try it. I could not stick with ATkins either, so good luck to you and I know you succeed!
