Induction day 31…
Well its officially been a month since I started Atkins. It has gone smoother and better than I ever could have imagined. I feel so in control of my eating habits and what I am putting into my body. I honestly thought I couldn’t lose weight. I thought my metabolism was so shot that I never would be able to lose weight. I am so happy to be proven wrong! I have lost roughly 18 or 19 pounds in total. I actually gained some of my initial weight back and since I have been cheat free, I really think it was just my body re-stabilizing my water levels. I have seen BIG changes in my measurements though! That is how I know that this is truly working for me. I feel better than I ever have in my life and I am shrinking. I know the weight loss will come. I am happy with almost 20 pounds lost in my first month. I am excited for myself and feel like the true me again. Its amazing. I will forever sing the Atkins praise because it has been and continues to be a miracle for me
