All I want for Christmas is abs that would make a cover model envious.
More Thoughts On The Atkins Diet
Published on December 24, 2003 By Frog Attack In Misc
Well, it is early Christmas morning and what I am most excited about is what I am giving MYSELF for Christmas, namely, control over my eating habits and a new way of eating and the abdominals I have always wanted.

Here is my inspirational person for the day :

Rich!

He is 3 inches taller than me but weighs just a few pounds more than I did at my last low weight and the guy is ripped.

Starting Weight: 152.5
Starting Body Fat: 17 PERCENT

Actually, let's see if I can't get that ol' picture in here of Rich.



So physically I feel huge but mentally I feel pretty good.

Upcoming Obstacles

1. My wife's carb products in the kitchen. I have a big weakness for cereal, cookies, doughnuts. Can I win the battle against them?
2. New Year's celebrations.

---On the other hand, just think, if I stick to this, I'm sure to be slimmer by New year's day (one week from now) and feel better about myself.

----I.W.A.

Thinking and wishing won't get you far but it is a start ~smiles~ I have been steadily losing weight now for a couple months and it has taken ever ounce of energy (that I don't have) to fight the demon of gluttony. I don't care about looking ripped anymore. I just care about my health and seeing my kids grow up. The most important thing is if you fail for a time, once you wake up from it apply yourself again. Don't let the demons of hopelessness drag into an eating frenzy for its friend Gluttony. My wife and others in the house love sugar, pies, ice cream, muffins and chocolate. I am accountable for my actions and cannot blame it on anyone else. I shove the food in my mouth.
