My only experience in dieting has been Weight Watchers. Without even becoming a member, I managed to lose 40 lbs with no problem. (Mom had given me the old paper points calculator and books from her meetings) That was back when I was way younger. So, I know it works. And, too, my Mom has been a lifetime member of Weight Watchers for over 40 years; she's always looked great. I learned what a healthy portion is and I learned how to eat the right foods. Foods low in fat, high fiber, etc. It truly is one of the best diets out there. (LIFESTYLE, excuse me) ;) But one of the things I love most about WW is the fact that there are no restrictions as far as what foods you can have.
So, when I started on the Atkins diet, it made me so uncomfortable. It's one that goes so against all that I've learned -- eating high fat? OMG! Really? But, the weight was coming off nicely ... it was working! But oh how I miss so many different foods. I'm on the induction phase currently and there are many restrictions. I feel deprived. :-/
I need someone to tell me to hang in there. I need someone to say, ITS OKAY, you will be able to add back some of those carbs your missing; induction isn't FOR LIFE. I need someone to say READ THAT BOOK AGAIN. I need the reassurance that eating all this FAT is not going to kill me or block my arteries. I need a hug. :-/
Going to spend a chunk of my day today reading this book some more. I have the newest one.
P.S. Off topic: Have any of you made those cheese chips? What do you think of them? What seasonings do YOU use in them? I did some surfing last night, trying to get ideas on foods to have during this first phase.

TOM affects me more than I thought. This too shall pass. Right?
HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY! I got up this morning and found a box of strawberries sitting on the counter, with a beautiful card. The words in the card were perrrrfect. I just KNOW he spent some time finding the 'right one'. (How SWEET!) And the strawberries ... sigh ... would have normally been a box of chocolates. (This time he said he wanted to surprise me with White Castle, but that's a huge no no lol), so he decided on strawberries; thinking this was best for me. (Do I wanna tell him strawberries are not allowed during induction?) Or .. should i just nibble on them. One/Two a day till gone?
My son may end up devouring them all himself; which would be okay. It's the thought that ONLY counts! ღ

Mid-Week Check-In
I can't believe how 2 lousy little pounds can send me into such a tizzy. Since this happened, I feel I have been careless in what I eat, deciding to count points AND watch carbs but not be so strict about them, and see how I do. I started that just yesterday. I stayed within my points fine and didn't have many extra carbs, but today! O.M.G.
I shouldn't have made Beef Stroganoff for dinner. I had planned on my 5 oz pork chop with broccoli but I had no strength when that Stroganoff was ready. Not only did i have a huge helping of THAT, but I also had a bowl of Frosted Flakes (Yes, they were greeeeat!). I should just throw that box of cereal OUT, but my son wouldn't like that very well.
.. and here I sit, hours after I ate all this and do I feel like it was worth it? NO!!! My stomach feels as though there's a lead weight just sittin' in there. It was TOO HEAVY of a meal. I need to remember this feeling; it could possibly help me stay in line.
Needless to say, I am disappointed in myself. And I feel bad that in a way, I've let YOU down. :"> Silly huh?
Well, I promise to myself and you ... that tomorrow will be an on-point, or on-Atkins kind of day for me. Because this time tomorrow, I wanna feel good about myself. I hate feeling the way that I do right this minute.
Good night All. Thanks for listening.

Okay, now I'm down again. Our bodies are so weird. It's all too scientific for me to understand. But I did decide one thing: I'm only going to weigh in once a week: MONDAYS.
I used to be a weight watchers member for a couple of years but have stopped my membership to save the money. I was happy last night to have learned of an app you can get that works pretty much exactly like the weight watchers tool ... its called "The Ultimate Food Value Diary" - it's $3.99 for iphones and $2.99 for androids. I bought the thing! Check it out, you may really like it too!
anyway ...
I think 'the change' is happening to me; at my age it would be no surprise. I wish I was completely done with 'it', i'm thru having babies. I have been spotting these last couple of days so maybe this is why the jump in weight (water retention). Again, I don't get it. So, I won't bother trying.
My spirits are up a bit from last night. I ended my night last night, by the way, with that bowl of cereal -- Frosted Flakes, of all things and they were Grrreat! :P
