Here we go again! I dont know how many more times my body is going to respond favorably to the ridiculous yo-yo cycle I put it through. For some reason it is so easy for me to talk myself out of sticking to the program. And every time I do go off track I gain twice as much, in half as much time as it took me to lose it. I guess I truly am carb intolerant. I am starting this time with an egg fast to get my body back into ketosis and flush every carb from my system. I have done it in the past and it works very well for me in breaking a stall or kicking me into gear. I dont know why this is so hard for me. I WANT to lose the weight, I WANT to be healthy, I WANT to look and feel better. I know that the low carb lifestyle works for me and makes me feel great, but its really hard for me to stick with it for the time I need to lose the weight. Its a mental thing cause I love the food. Maybe thats my issue. I LOVE food. LOTS AND LOTS of food. Thinking of starting to see a hypnotherapist again.

Kllbbrewer, sounds like you are finding yourself bored with the Atkins fare. This is a simple fix. Stop allowing yourself to feel like you are missing out on certain food items. There are plenty of low carb alternatives to almost everything. If you haven't done so yet, check here, the Atkins site, as well as other sites you can google. If you truly are carb intolerant, you will need to change the way you eat for life.

Thats just it, I am not bored. I LOVE the food. ANd I like eating this way cause it makes me feel good! Its a mental thing. I talk myself out of it because of life's circumstances. The days my hubby is off I tell myself I will get back on track when he goes back to work, then I go grocery shopping and tell myself its ok to go through the drive thru cause I am busy running around. Then I convince myself that I just need to get the goodies out of the house and I will get back on track. Its a mental thing. I need to quit the excuses. I dont need the potato at dinner, I dont need the bread on a sandwich. I LOVE french fries, and frappucinos, all the junk that will probably kill me. I have high cholesterol and crazy high triglycerides, and I'm only 29. I have 4 kids under the age of 5 and lots of stress. Life just sucks sometimes and I let it get the best of me! I wish it was the food, that would be such an easy fix! But its my brain, bummer. :)

If it's any consulation, you are not alone. We have been eating wrong for so long, it's 2nd nature. Just like it took you years to learn this behavior, it'll take time, patience, and lots of hard work to relearn how to eat right. Your children need you to be healthy. Think of the times in which you did Atkins properly and how great you felt and how much energy you had. You need that energy to keep up with your lifestyle. Have you tried fried radishes as a replacement for potatoes? Or mashed califlower to replace mashed potatoes? And as far as the frappachinos, I have a low carb one from Big Train that has 4 net carbs. Top with some SF chocolate drizzle - yummy!
