Subject: This diet is really working!!!!

I just had to tell everyone that I am now at 240!!! I started Atkins on June 17, 2002 at 252 lbs. and have now lose 12 lbs.!!!!

I know it's taken me a month to lose 12 lbs. and when I went on Atkins a few years ago I lost 12 lbs. within the first 2 weeks. But I've decided that I can't look at the past, that I have to be happy about the progress I've made now. I'm also happy that I don't have any more addictions to carbs. And I've decided, no matter what I am never going back to my old weight. I will never allow myself to gain weight again! From now on, I only want to see weight loss not weight gain!

I've thought of something creative for myself. In any situation, whether it be lunch with friends or dinner at my Mom's house- any time there are some carbs that I'm tempted by, like pizza, bread, potatoes, dessert I'm going to ask myself- what would I rather have that piece of bread or a 1 lb. loss in the morning when I weigh myself? And do you know that 99% of the time I decide to pass the bread or pizza and know that in the morning there's a real good chance that I lost something!

I have realized with myself that if I eat a big carb meal for dinner - in the morning I have gained 1-2 lbs., if I have a CAD dinner, meat,salad,veggie and 1 carb- then I can expect that I stayed the same and didn't lose or gain anything. If I truly ate low carb all day then there's a good chance that I lost another lb. I have also realized to really lose weight, I have to stick to low carb all the time and eat dinner at least 3-4 hours before I go to bed.
