Maybe this time....

It seems that at the beginning of every month, I make a decision to change my life. This has been going on for years now... but maybe March will be different. I have never tried the Atkins diet before (I start tomorrow) and I must admit, I am extremely hopeful that this time around, I won't "fall off the wagon," so to speak and that I will follow through with the promises that I have made to myself. I am posting this message so that, come tomorrow, I will see my post and stick with what I told this forum I would do- start the diet!
No more binging and purging, no more laxatives, no more running away from relationships and generous people who only want to help me. This time, I will make it right!

Just needed to get that out of my system :)
Thank you!

make sure you read the book! it will help you focus on WHY you are doing this....and that will help you stay focused when things get rough! but into the atkins diet as a way of life early on, and it will make it easier for you later! i am struggling to lose the last few pounds, so i picked up my book and re-read a little last night....and i found out that losing your last few pounds very SLOWLY is a GOOD thing....so just keep that book handy for inspiration and also keep coming here for even more inspiring stories!

I couldn't change that much about myself at one time. The only promise I could make was to eat LC, regardless. I still run away, I still overeat, I still do a lot of things, but I eat LC and life is different.

It can be hard for me to tell the difference between character defects and characteristics, and not all people who want to help me are really good for me. Sometimes running away is the best thing I can do.

But when I run, I run in the LC lane, and life is different.

It's not about willpower for me.
