Well i am back from Camp so i guess i better get back to my Atkins! I have gained sooo much weight this summer it is soo not funny! I am NOT going to get on that scale if my life depened on it! I feel ike such a cow! I was doing so well until the summer and I looked great. The compliments have stopped now from people because I know they can all tell I am gaining it back again! I feel like such a failure.....I can't believe I let myself gain weight after working so hard for so long!

I am starting back on atkins tomorrow and I will not go off even if the queen herself offered me cake!

I will try to keep on this board more so i can stay focused!

AWWW - hang in there Annes. It sounds like you have hit that wall, that magical wall that makes you say "what, how did I get here?" and then you can really do something about it. You have done this before and know what it takes and you can do it. We are here for you!!!!

Don't be so hard on yourself annes! I too, just came back from vacation ( from both ordinary life & Atkins). I'm sure I've gained back the 7 pounds I lost on Atkins but am trying not to be so hard on myself. I know that if I get right back on the wagon--the weight will come back off again. It all boils down to a matter of choice: I chose to stray from atkins and now I am choosing to deal with it! Hang in there gal; we're all in this together. I don't know about you- but when I was vacationing and eating whatever I wanted; I got to the point where I was just "sick" of food! I didn't go hog-wild and eat everything in sight; I just ate fried foods, ice cream--stuff that Atkins forbids. But I got to this point where after I ate it--I realized that it really didn't taste as good as I thought it would!

So, I'm with you on starting again! And there is plenty of time before the next holiday so as not to interfere with our good intentions!!! Keep me informed as to how you are doing and I will do the same!! Good luck my friend!!!

Annes, good luck to you. Im sure that you can do it. We all cheat. I think if I didnt cheat once in awhile that I would not be able to do it. We are all here for you.

Thanks everyone! This is why I love this board!
Well, today is day of atkins and Iwas actually very excited to get back to it. I had my bacon and eggs this morning with decaf coffee w/cream..yum!
I have a roast in the crock pot for dinner that i will have with some green beans. Lots of water of course.
I know I can do this again I just got sooo mad that I put myself in a position of having to! Anyways, I will keep at it and I will do it! AGAIN!
