My husband, in the heat of an arguement, said that I look like a linebacker.
I will never forget that.
Having a history of eating disorders-anorexia, bulimia and before my weight loss, compulsive overeating, something snapped.
On August 10,2007 (the next day) I started my 200 cal a day diet. No fat ,very,very little protein-just veggies. I lost 44 lbs in 5-6 weeks. I then caved and ate high carb (mashed potatoes) and had a week long cycle of bulimia. I gained 8-11lbs.
I am now on my 3rd day on Atkins induction. 3LBS to go to get back to that 44lb loss! While I still hear that voice in the back of my head regarding fat in food, I feel free. I feel like there is hope to make this my WOL.
To finally end the cycle!!!
edited to add-that I am now .5 lbs from my 44lb loss after just 4 days on induction and with complications from the switch including severe edema, which is almost corrected now but still carrying some water poundage.
