from exante to atkins diary

[honeytemple88]

good evening well another day of atkins complete today and feeling possitive.... still no scale hoping for me and it seemd like the dreaded totm is on its way out .

today been a busy day was out most the day i didnt have breakfast and didnt take anythink to have for lunch because i was at a friends house who doesnt live close to shops ended up going to a garage to get somethink to eat to avoid any option for food to enter my mouth that was'nt atkins friendly....... i brought a bottle of water a packet of pork scratchings some pre cooked bacon strips and a small prawns in garlic and parsley ended up eating everythink apart from the prawns....was stuffed.

on way back ended up stopping off at mcdonalds to get the kids a happy meal , i could'nt believe the temptation was not there its mad ..... i wasnt drooling over there food or trying little nibbles thinking it wouldnt hurt....felt very strong willed,

went got home realised had got any meat out for my dinner and by then hunger was setting in i went threw all my cupboards and saw all the food i wasnt aloud , so ended up just making do .....what turned out to be delicious i grilled of some bacon till crisp and had it with lettuce...tomato....cucumber....half a shalot...mayo and boiled egg was delicious. also had a tin of tuna later on in the evening.

ive upped my water today whats great found that if i have a bottle or glass next to me i find i sipe at it and it soon goes down and im refilling , so will be trying to have atleast 3litres tomoorow thats my target anyways ,

anyway im off to bed got a busy long day tomorrow housework family coming over taking kids out plus shopping but will be on tomorrow , hope every1 has fantastic atkins day keep strong x

atkins is a great diet the losses aint as quick as exante but.... if you prefer loads of food and slightly slower losses then atkins is for you.
i found it so easy coming over from exante to atkins felt wrong the 1st couple days..... i couldnt believe that i was eatting so much and still lossing weight.... best diet ever....so much nice food...i gained a pound the first day but by the end of week 1 i was down 5.6lb . i hope what ever you decide to do you have great losses and do well xx

HI just back in from a good night out - feel stuffed though! Had mixed grill in frankie and benny's the waitress looked at me like I was mental when I ordered it, erm I want that with no chips, no BBQ sauce, no salad dressing and a fried egg please!
It just seems really weird to eat that on a diet! Just hope I have stuck to it okay - as feeling rather full!

 

[Ess3x_Girly]

Hope you are feeling better honey
