Hi everyone:
I'ts been awhile since I checked in and today is my 4 month anniversary of beginning Atkins!
I have lost 25 lbs (I was at 26 last week and then gained one back! Grrrr. Too many low-carb mini cheesecakes, I think!!) There is a big part of me that doesn't think that's enough of a loss for 4 months. BUT as I think about it, I realize that 1) I've never lost 25 lbs in 4 months before, AND 2) I am 25 lbs lighter than I was 4 months ago. So the only logical answer is for me to just keep going on what obviously works for me, albeit slowly.
Today at work the higher-ups provided us with a pizza lunch. Being a little discouraged that I have "only" lost 25 lbs on the exact day of my 4 months LC anniversary, and hearing these stories around work about people who claim they go to Olive Garden for pasta once a week and they are losing on Atkins, and smelling that delicious pizza smell (one of my fave foods!) I had just about talked myself into having "just one slice." But when it came right down to it, I found I was not willing to give up all that I have gained (lost?) in the past 4 months. One piece of pizza would have put me right on the slippery slope of a binge--I know me. Because the higher ups know that a lot of people are on Atkins, they also provided salad (complete with cheese and bacon bits) so I opted for a nice salad to augment my chicken salad brought from home and gave the pizza a pass.
It's a little thing but feels like success, and I want to say I appreciate all of you being here and helping me get through these last 4 months, one LC day at a time!
Ready for the next 25 lbs!
