Kill the Carb Monster Forever

Today is Day 12 of my new way of eating. I started with Atkins on August 5th. It's not the first time I've done Atkins, but it seems different than many years ago. I had gastric bypass on September 18, 2006, and never reached my goal. Why? Because of the Carb Monster!!! We were taught to eat protein first, vegetables and fruits second, and then carb IF WE HAD ROOM. Did I follow those rules? No! And what happened? I did not reach my goal, and then I started gaining. When I gained 15 pounds I knew I needed to STOP. I tried and tried, but it wasn't until I decided to try Atkins again that I realized I needed to kill the monster. And here I am . . . 12 days later and nearly 10 pounds gone. I am a bit less than 20 pounds from my doctor's goal for me. And since I have a followup appointment in October I plan to show him I made it!!! What is scary is that other people I know who had the surgery are regaining their weight. Gastric Bypass is NOT a miracle, it's a tool, and while it helped me get a good start and I am much healthier, I MUST KEEP UP THE WORK. Low Carb Eating must be a way of life for me.

KILL THE CARB MONSTER FOREVER!
