Weight Loss Forum / Low Carb / March 2004Feel Like Quitting Your Plan? (Pics)
I've decided to throw caution to the wind, and share my progress photos. Why? Because I think they could be helpful to people struggling with the question of whether or not to stay on their plan. Backsliding is not a good thing, and I'm here to prove it. I look like I swallowed a beach ball. http://photos.yahoo.com/carol_arie Please don't do this to yourselves!!

It won't be long before you are back to where you were -- and this time remember that whatever form of low carb diet you select, Carb Addicts, Atkins, South Beach, or whatever, the trick is to keep in mind that it is a WOE (Way Of Eating), and that means you change your way for life! It's not such a bad sentence though!

It's not such a bad sentence though! <smile> Thanks, Irv. I'm going with Atkins again. If it ain't broke, don't fix it! It's more of a challenge when you have someone in the house who isn't low-carbing, but he's supportive, and that helps a lot! Carol Signature227/227/150 Low-Carb since March 12, 2004 Type 2 Diabetic since May 15, 2001 Carol, We learn from our mistakes. I'm sure you've learned a thing or two about yourself, but please don't get down on yourself for a mistake! You're back at what works. That is the important thing.

I'm approaching things from a new perspective this time around. I'm allowing myself to be human, and not beat myself up over eating issues. Just stick with the plan. Thanks, Carol Signature227/227/150 Low-Carb since March 12, 2004 Type 2 Diabetic since May 15, 2001 Just curious, why did you quit? i > I've decided to throw caution to the wind, and share my progress photos. > Why?

I've said it before and I'll say it again -- your 2003 progress photos were a MAJOR inspiration to me. They also provided ME with the courage to post photos relatively early on, which in turn has inspired others -- we pay it forward :-) You've had a LOT to deal with -- more than the average person -- yet you persevere and pick yourself right back up again when you're able, which is ALSO a great example, so here's a great, bit ATTAGIRL for you!

Thanks so much, Saffire. :) Sometimes I reflect on my life, and wonder if I'm making a difference in this world because I don't have what most people would consider "a life." Comments like yours help remind me that my life is worthwhile, and that I *do* make a difference. I'm not sure if my response is making a lot of sense. The bottom line is, you've really touched me, and given me a feeling of purpose. I feel a lot less insignificant than I did fifteen minutes ago. Thank you again for your very kind words. YOU make a difference, too!

Very cool that you dare do this, instead of being swallowed by embarressment. >> I've decided to throw caution to the wind, and share my progress photos. >> Why?

I wasn't going to do it at first, but dammit, if I can help one person to avoid doing what I did, the embarassment is worth it. It's great to be back!

You are right: they may help some of us stay on the straight and narrow. Nice to see you back, er, here, again! SignatureJean B. I'm glad I will have the pleasure of getting to know you and to benefit from your experience. Thanks for making the effort to give us all some always needed motivation. Welcome back.

Hopefully, it will be a reminder to you so you won't backslide again. I'm in the same boat with you - lost it - found it again. Determined this time not to let it back in.
