So today was my first day on the Atkins diet and I did good. The only cheat was a spoon full of fried rice at diner and half of that was egg. Not having sugar was easier today than I thought it would be. I actually kind of enjoyed the taste of black coffee, though I do miss the tea. I've eaten more today than is normal for me. My kids are proud of me because I actually had 3 meals and a snack instead of just 1 meal. Even though I ate so much, my over all calorie count is still very low (903) but I'm at a loss on how to increase it without increasing my carbs or resorting to just meat. I do have a slight headache this evening I think it is from the lack of sugar and the low over all carbs. But this is part of the journey, right? Tomorrow is a new day, I can only hope it goes as well as today.
I have made up my mind that even though I'm on a dreaded "diet" I will not let food become a stress. In the past when I was dieting if I over indulged I would stress and then eat even more. I refuse to do that to myself this time. That is why I had that rice at dinner. Fried rice is one of my favs and watching my family eat it was torture. So 1 spoonful and no guilt. I got savor the taste without the freak out. Besides if a diet can't handle a bite of over indulgence then what kind of diet is it?
I hope everyone else had a good day as well. Keep up the good work everyone. And happy journey!

Well, the advice I received after my last journal entry suggested I'd benefit from a low carb diet. So I've decided to try it and see what happens.

So today's food record is pretty typical for my daily intake; there are snacks here and there but this is normal for me. A few things jump out at me about it and it will be interesting to see how these first impression play out. First, my calorie intake is a lot lower than I realized. It is lower even than fs has recomended for me to lose a pound a week. I mean even without exercise I should have burned 1058 calories more than I took in. Second was the amount of carbs. I naturally avoid many high carb foods; I'm not fond of bread or pasta. I guess I never thought of sugar as a carb; not sure why. I have already been slowly reducing my sugar intake and this shows that I need to keep it up. Third, if "starvation mode" is a myth (which is what I've been hearing lately) then why am I still so over weight? Is it the sugar alone? I admit that I am fairly sedentary but fs took that into account when it made it's suggestion. Well, I am incorporating exercise now so I can't wait to see how this plays out.

This is my first day on this site and the first day (this time) on my weight loss journey. This wasn't something I planned, I just woke up this morning and decided to exercise which flowed into writing down what I'd eaten; ultimately I found this site.

This being my first day on this journey I feel I need to lay it all bare. My weight issues started 16 years ago during my first pregnancy. I gained 30 lbs and developed gestational diabetes. The first few months after giving birth I was losing the weight, but when I stopped breast feeding it all came back with about 5 lbs extra. About a year later I was diagnosed with hypoglycemia and told to eat 3 small meals and 3 small snacks a day to keep my sugar level. The doctor said I may even lose weight. I guess my idea of small was small enough because I wound up putting on another 20 lbs. I gave up the small meals.

When I got pregnant with my second child I had morning sickness for the first 6 months. Despite that I developed gestational diabetes again. When she was born, though, I had actually dropped 10 lbs. My last pregnancy was soon to follow. It caused no change in my weight and was the only one I didn't develop diabetes during.

About 6 months after my third child was born I decided to lose the weight. At that time I was still 50 lbs over weight. Over the next 6 months I managed to lose 30 lbs of the weight but then my life changed again. I became more sedentary and gained the 30 lbs back plus 5 more. I maintained until I tried to lose weight again about 3 years ago. My husband and I joined a gym. He started to lose weight but I start to gain. When I hit 190 lbs I started to panic. I handled the panic poorly by eating even more. When I hit 195 I quit the gym and started to maintain again.

I am 4'11". I am terrified of weighing 200lbs. I am terrified of even trying to lose weight again because of all the times I've gained more on the rebound. However, I am now at a point where I have to lose the weight or become diabetic.
