Day 8
July 15, 2008
Can hardly believe an entire week went by. I did it…I acutally did it. I’m pretty proud of myself for sticking to it even for this long. I just purchased 5 more weeks of cookies (a different brand) so I have committed to this thing. I felt great this evening..decided to go outside and get some excercise. Took the puppies roller-blading. It was fun.

Congrats on making it a week! I also had a few headaches in the beginning — and I agree, ridding our body of carbs is quite a painful experience!
When I was on the diet two years ago, I had little problem sticking to it, but I admit that I hated it. I didn’t mind eating cookies or drinking shakes, but after a five weeks or so of it, I was just bored to tears. We started cheating — but we cheated by overeating seafood, rather than carbs or sugars. I realized I would still lose weight, even with the cheating — so we decided that if we ate the cookies and shakes for most of the week and weekend, that going on the “adkins diet” for one night a week couldn’t do too much damage.
Like you, I’ve always been active. Semi-pro tennis after H.S., racquetball, hiking, swimming, biking, etc. When my twins were born 14 years ago, my activity slowed — but was still there. I also love to snow ski, but haven’t done it in at least 10 years. I’m not meant to be 40 lbs overweight either and I hate it. I just hate it. I’ve mostly stayed within 10 lbs of my ideal weight most of my life, but I’ve had 2-3 different 6 mos to 1 year periods over the last 6 years where I would gain 20 lbs, lose it and keep it off for 1.5-2 years. My brother passed away from a brain tumor in 2005 and that set off a chain of events that altered my future in many ways and sent me into a depression (which took me over a year to even admit existed –because I never really believed in depression). There have been weekends over the last two years where I’ve been so down, that I would open a 1 lb. bag of M&Ms and without 24 hours the entire bag was gone…..and then I would look in the mirror and hate myself. It’s no wonder I gained 40 lbs. Food can be an addiction.
I’m here for moral support! Hell, I need it too! And congrats to your mom! My ex-husband is a “functional alcoholic”. He would rather believe I left him for another man than accept that his alcoholism (and the behaviors that came from it) were the cause of my leaving him 12 years ago. It’s a shame. I really have to agree with you. I applaud your mom — if she can kick alcohol and go on this diet all at the same time, then certainly we can do the diet alone!
Good Luck!
