Weight Loss Forum / Low Carb / March 2004sabotaging ones self
Hi! I have left a few postings before. I actually feel like maybe i shouldnt write for fear of lack of support. I mean JC and Roger you can comer back with some zingers. I will first say i have always been working on my weight. I come from weighing 344lbs in 1997 to my present weight which can be anywhere from 188 to 195. I got back down to 185 and now i fell off the low carb wagon again. People say dont beat yourself up over it look how far ou have come but its very hard not too. I mean i will always look at myself as i was i think. Its always a fear too that size 18 and 20 could be back in my future. I have to say i have found the atkins or lowb WOE has helped me alot. I dont feel as tired when i dont eat fries and potatoes or pasta. I actually dont miss it. I did the induction for three weeks then gave into the fruit. I needed something sweet and that was it. I love berries and just needed to know i could have something. However i have been going through alot of personal bull crap and have been working alot like last week over 100 hrs. like 101.5. I work 2 jobs and try to plan ahead. I gave into pizza though I love pizza. Wishing there was some damn lowcarb way to have it. Then of course because i failed i had bread not the same day. I SUCK!!! And of course we all no what happens when we mess up. Fat comes back we feel like sh.t. It seems this happens every time i start to feel good about myself. My 12s were fitting good even baggy, now im comfortable in my 14s. Maybe in im where im supposed to be. I dont look awful. But i guess its more about proving to myself that i can do it. My husband loves me like i am. My friends think i look great. But its personal dissatisfaction i guess. Has anyone ever sabotaged themselves? I have done it alot or had others my ex and so forth when they wanted somwething they will be like cmon it cant hurt you should treat yourself yadda yadda yadda. Just interested in what others have to say. I started back this morning on atkins. Have the standard headache and going to go make eggs for dinner. Thanks for listening to me babble on Karen 344 start weight not on atkins 1997 190 current 140 goal > Hi! I have left a few postings before.

Nah, JC doesn't have enough imagination or wit to come up with any zingers. He just likes to stand on balconies and drop big rocks and dirt clods onto people's heads. After the first or second time of getting clonked on the head, most people learn to walk around it because throwing them back at him has no effect. Roger can be a little abrupt occasionally, but he's one of the good guys.  SignatureSaffire 205/164/125 - 5'2.5" Atkins since 6/14/03 Progress photo: http://photos.yahoo.com/saffire333 :: Hi!

We're all made up of many parts, and we all have a self-destructive part that rears its ugly head every once in a while. I've found that the trick is to accept it, but don't give into it. SignatureMichelle Levin http://www.mindspring.com/~lunachick I have only 3 flaws. My first flaw is thinking that I only have 3 flaws. I think you have to avoid becoming a slave to dieting be it low carb, low fat, low whatever....... Don't think of it as a diet and don't beat yourself up for the occasional splurge, it's in our nature. It becomes a problem when you dwell on it. I would like to congratulate you on your accomplishments! --Kim > Hi! I have left a few postings before. I actually feel like maybe i shouldnt > write for fear of lack of support.

I LC in the week, I eat twice a day, b/fast and evening, then on saturdays I eat what the hell I want, works for me anyway ck.......r u there? -- "One way to stop a runaway horse is to bet on him."

I make a low-carb pizza by smooshing mild Italian sausage in a pan, baking it until done, draining, and then topping it and baking until the cheese melts. But you may not have time for that, so if you're out somewhere and pizza is what's on the menu, order pizza and just eat the topping. Berries are not necessarily bad - you can do berries in a low-carb diet. Being off induction isn't necessarily bad either, you're *supposed* to go off induction and go on to OWL... and there can be berries on OWL, depending on how it works for you. What is bad is feeling out-of-control about it all. When you feel out-of-control and that you've screwed up, it's easy to just give up. Working those kind of hours, it's really hard *not* to go there, as you only have some much time and energy to focus on low-carbing. You can't sit down and work up daily menu's and log everything and all that. So... you need to find what works for you without requiring so much time and energy. When I was working crazy hours, I cooked my breakfast and lunches for the week on the weekends ahead of time, cooked the same fast dinner every night and kept low-carb snacks at home and at work and in my car. The only drive-through I hit was Wendy's cause they had big enough chunks of lettuce for me to wrap around the burger once I discarded the bun. Sit down and figure out some fast and easy ways to stay low-carb that fit into your current lifestyle. If you feel in control, it will be easier to either maintain or continue losing depending on what you decide is an appropriate goal while you're working the crazy hours. As long as you don't gain it all back and can feel in-control of things, that will be victory enough for the time being. >my present weight which can be anywhere from > 188 to 195.

I'm at 155, and my 12s are fitting just right - how could your 12s fit at 40-50 pounds more??? But seriously...you're doing great. Look how far you've come - it really is an incredibly accomplishment. The occasional slip isn't worth beating yourself up over. Wake up tomorrow and start anew. And, whenever your work load eases up a bit, see if you can't add a little more exercise to the routine.
