Well, the eating...gah. Always such a pain. I've got myself moving though. Walking will be my salvation. Once I establish that habit, I know I will have a better chance of re-establishing my Atkin's habit.

Well, I fell off the Atkins wagon again. It wasn't a binge, but, sure enough after I ate the carbohydrates, my body aches went away. Carbs are insulation against some kinds of pain, but it is always a short term fix with a long term balloon payment. It's not a good thing. Then Advil has its problems too. What to do, what to do? Try a calorie diet again? Or start up a food journal again and bring my awareness to my eating habits again. Count carbs and calories in everything. I don't know.

I am beginning to miss the the analgesic properties of carbohydrates. Usually when I come home from work, I eat carbs and get a momentary high from them. I think that's one of the reasons I have slipped off the diet so easily the other times, I tried Atkin's this year. I suppose I think, that if I'm going to be in pain, I might as well eat carbs. The pain is probably only a temporary phenomenon. Maybe I should just take some ibuprofen. I am going to stick with my diet. I think I will try some pain relievers for the short term.

I think I'm starting day four. Yup, fourth day for of eating Atkins. I feel so much better. Stretching is a joy, looking in the mirror is a little easier too, as double chin appears to be receding. There was no carb craving and I wasn't hungry for most of the day, and I certainly had no impulse to overeat. I hardly knew I was hungry. What a change for the better.

I made it through 2 full days and nights. I'm starting my third day of the diet. My goal, of course, is to make it through another day. I've lost four pounds and feel like I have more room in my body, it has been very satisfying to stretch and feel some give in the muscles and bones. I am through with the thermostat change, that period, where one is easily chilled, and have gone into fat-burning mode. I can feel the change. I also had an initial instance of yeast die-off. My gums and skin feel better. Morning sludge throat is gone. I still have a bit of mind fog, but believe that I will emerge from that in a handful of days. I feel a greater sense of self-control. I hope I can just relax about it, and have faith in myself. I know my health will improve greatly if I keep avoiding the insulin spikes. I have already seen improvement in two days. It would be a shame to throw that all away, just for a carbohydrate high. The insulin response is so strong that my willpower cannot over-ride it if I keep on giving it the fuel it craves. All I've done is deny it carbs for two days, and my appetite is now behaving very docilely. When there is such a strong insulin response, my body thinks it is starving, and won't take no for an answer. I think it even pushes me to overeat. But after only two days of Atkins, I feel that there has been a good change. I feel better already, and am anxious to feel better still. I want to avoid insulin spikes. I want to feel good. I want to keep feeling in control.

I made it through the first day and first night of Atkins. I have no other ambition at this point, but to make it through a second day and a second night. I believe I have a good chance of getting it done. I was quite tired and nodded off in my chair in the afternoon. I went to bed around 11. My feet didn't hurt as much as they usually do when I got up this morning and the colors and lights were brighter. I must be good about drinking enough water. Just one day and one night. That's all. I used my exercise bike for fifteen minutes. This time, I am going to phase into it gradually and not go from zero to sixty minutes in a day. I will likely stay more motivated, if I get into the habit in easy stages. I don't have to lose all the weight in a day. I want to get into the mind set of going the distance with the diet and exercise. Make it a life-long habit.

Hear me roar. It's the insulin, Stupid. No, not talking to you, just to myself. It's the first day of my diet amd I am having some withdrawal symptoms. Feels good to know that I can stop the cycle by stopping the insulin spikes.
