I've Been So Bad

I've had a lousy couple of weeks. I've been on a binge I've gained a
whopping 19 pounds.. I'm back up to 340. I got back on the wagon last
Thursday. I'll weigh again this Thursday, I'm hoping I'll have lost some
of what I've gained. I started taking the One A Day carb smart vitamins
a couple of weeks ago I was blaming them on my increased appetite. I
seemed to be starving all the time when I first started taking them once
I started binging I lost it. On the good side I've noticed a increase in
engery the last couple of days I'm crediting the vitamins. I really hate
having to lose the same pounds over again but at least I'm back on
program finally.

I have heard from pregnant friends that the super-vitamins that they take
make them ravenous. They've suggested taking the vitamins at bedtime, so
the hunger occurs while you're sleeping. Don't know if there's any
validity to this, but it might be worth a try.

And you haven't been bad. You've been human. Been there, done that.

You should focus on what triggered the binge. I would be surprised it
was the vitamins. Most likely there was something else. A new food, a
change in your life, or maybe even some marker of success in losing
weight that scared you back to eating.

I get those hungry days and I do allow myself to eat. The trick for me
has been to fill up with low carb when I'm hungry. Drinking water
really does help and having plenty of low carb stuff in the house at
all times--stuff I like, like cheeses, eggs, meats, sausages,
pepperoni, etc. I find going out to restaurants to be the greatest
challenge. To go to a restaurant and make some low-carb choice that I
just as easily could have made for myself at home (salads and other
typical low carb fare) really doesn't feel worth going out for. For me
that is the big temptation, to not overdo when I eat out--and I'm
eating out more and more (for non-diet reasons).

Probably about 10 pounds of that was water. :-)

That's a scary story, no less than that. 19 pounds gained from a
binge, could not think of that in my worst nightmare. I feel sorry for
you.

Thanks to the people that were understanding and offered encouragement
about my binge a weight gain. I think part of the problem I'd gotten to
cocky. I've been on Atkins since August 2003 I'd lost 101 pounds before
my binge. I thought I could handle some of the foods that are bad for
me. I found out the hard way I can't. I will be more careful now
especially considering how bad I felt physically and mentally the last 2
weeks.
