TRYING TO DO ATKINS FOR 14 DAYS

I TRYED ATKINS TODAY. LAST NIGHT WENT SHOPPING FOR MY FOOD. WANT TO SPEED UP THE WEIGHT LOSS. THAT IS NOT A GOOD IDEA. I HAVE BEEN SICK ALL DAY. MY HUSBAND ASKED ME WHY? YOU LOOK GREAT. THIS WEEKEND WHEN I WENT TO WORK. ONE THE WORKER ASKED IF I WAS STILL LOSSING WEIGHT. I SAID YES. NOT AS QUICK AS AT FIRST. SHE SAID MARGO LOOKS AS IF SHE IS LOSSING QUICKER THAN YOU. I WAS CRUSH. MARGO HAD THE RNG=Y DONE 1 MONTH BEFORE MY SURGERY. SHE IS ONLY 31 YEARS OLD I AM 52. SHE IS STILL WEARING ALL THOSE LARGE SCRUBS. THAT IS REALLY TO LARGE. I AM WEARING MY SIZE I LOST TO . I WENT FROM 24(NEEDING A 26) TO A 16 IN 7 MONTHS. I TRIED NOT TO LET THAT BUG ME BUT IT DID. SO I TRIED TO DIET REALLY HARD. I REALLY DO NOT EAT A LOT OF FOOD. ONE OF MY OTHER CO WORKER TOLD ME SOME IS WRONG WITH HER EYES. YOU ARE MUCH SMALLER THAN THE OTHER LADY. YOU LOOK GREAT. I REALLY THINK YOU ARE SMALLER THAT THE LADY AND SHE IS VERY UP SET, SHE DO NOT LIKE IT. THAT IS ABOUT THE WEIGHT LOSS. I WILL HAVE TO LEARN TO LIVE WITH THIS. I SEE THIS AS BEING A BIG PROBLEM TRYING TO MAKE A COMPARSON WITH TWO OF US. HELP FAMILY GLORIA -91

Ms. Gloria... honey... you have lost ALOT of weight..You have done a fabulous job.. 91 pounds is better than nothing at all.. be greatful.. and ignore the ignorance... take if from a pre-op with over 100 pounds to lose.. you are definitely on the right track.... and don't let others dictate what you do to your body... keep doing what you were doing, cause what ever it was.. it was working pretty good! Just imagine what you are going to look like in 5 more months.. you will probably be at goal!!! Casey

Gloria, When I was on a plateau and couldn't lose any more, I went on Atkins and just dropped like that. I still didn't eat high fat and of course on Atkins you can eat salads and veggies. Go on Atkins.com and get a list. It worked wonders for me. Of course you can't eat all and I think that even makes it better.

I just read Casey's post, and I couldn't agree more! You are doing a phenominal job, and quite honestly, I find your success inspiring! Keep up the good work, and try to keep the negative junk at bay. Julie

Hi Sister you are doing wonderful this is about your health and your life it is not a race to the finish line. do not discuss your diet or weight issues with people that are not supportive of your life style. keep your head high and stay healthy. avoid fad diets keep drinking water and getting your protien in. it is not about rushing it is about reclaiming your life 91 pounds is incredible remember yourself 91 heavy pounds ago and pat your back. We are our own worst critic stop beating yourself up for what you do not do and love yourself for what you do. Women are always looking over their shoulders in competition with other women forget it their will always be a younger, sexier, richer, luckier, lazier, smarter, dumber etc woman than you on the greener grass over there. embrace yourself now right where you are the hell with everyone elses opinion. God Bless You...... Dee
