I was watching a TV show called Ruby about a woman with a food addiction who used to be 700 lbs. She was having Thanksgiving at her house with family and friends. And it was very painful to watch her talk about a plan to only eat 2T of healthy food and then see her eat bite after bite after bite of healthy and unhealthy foods at the table. Then they showed her disbelief and depression when she gained 5 lbs. that week. I could so identify with all the good intentions and the cheating that followed. If I wasn't full and satisfied with Atkins I would be in the same position as this poor woman struggling to lose and keep weight off. They also had a scene where she ate slowly and mindfully like the Beck Diet Solution book recommends. Ruby said it was the first time she had every eaten like that. I am so grateful for Atkins and for my buddies and their support. I am doing well today although I slept a long time today because I couldn't fall asleep until after 5 am this morning. I prayed last night and that helped. I weighed this morning and I am still at 225.4.

Don't you mean 225.5 Andrea? You are doing so fantastic, I am sooo proud of you. As I said yesterday, I remember when you joined, and the difference in your attitude between then and now is amazing!! :-) You should pat yourelf on the back and be very proud of yourself!!
I, too, am so glad I found Atkins. Although I did it twice before, the difference this time is that I now realize that this isn't a diet, but my new way of eating, and that it is for life!
I also pray. I pray ALOT, lol, for God to help me continue to follow this WOE, as I know that is what I need to do to be healthy and happy.
Keep up the good work, Andrea. You rock!!

I didn't catch that...sounds like something I could definitely relate to though. Just wanted to stop in and say thanks for your comments and I replied to them in my journal.

Andrea, our patience becomes tested from time to time. This is true in weight loss as well as other times. You just keep up the hard work that you are putting forth and you will see yours. You deserve this and are so worth it.

I love watching Ruby. A lot of things she goes through i can relate and she has been a great inspiration on getting out there and doing different things. It is hard around the holiday times to be around so much food and try to eat the right things but fail so badly. That is what happened to me during this past holidays. Having the support of my family, friends, and everybody on FS has really helped me get back into the groove and stay focused!

I know what you mean LadyAng the support of my family, friends and everyone on FS has really made the difference in my weight loss program, too. It's so easy especially on the holidays to get off track. I will watch Ruby again because she reminds me of my food addiction and why I must follow through on this food plan to save my life and to have a satisfying one...I haven't watched her before but losing 400 lbs. is no small accomplishment.

Her shows are really good and are very inspirational. She climbed this one bridge on an episode and it made me want to go there and do it too. lol It also shows that nobody is perfect and how the struggle is w/ dieting because she's gone up and down a lot on her show.

I'm glad to hear that Atkin's is working for you, it has helped so many people. I'm fairly sure that Ruby will find her way but the important thing here is that you definitely are finding yours. Keep up the good work buddy! :-)
