i'm so ready to be back on atkins

last night i was exhausted when my normal betime rolled around. i tried to go to sleep, but couldn't because i was acutely aware of the beating of my heart.

this is a bizarre thing that i remember happening a lot before i first went on atkins. he actually mentions it in his book, on a checklist of things that atkins will help with.

another thing he mentions (i think) is shortness of breath, which i definitely had pre-atkins last year, and thought was just because i needed to get more aerobic exercise. well, both of these things disappeared not long after i went on atkins, and they've both come back in the last couple of months since i've been eating whatever i feel like.

i also made myself feel horribly ill on christmas eve night by having pound cake and milk before dinner. i thought i was going to barf right in the shanghai waiting area while waiting for my dinner.

so anyway, today is my first day back on atkins and i hope i read this entry again if i ever start seriously slipping again. i can tolerate small amounts of sugar if i'm eating well all the time, but habitual intake of sugar and white flour make me sick in a variety of different ways, and overall degrade my quality of life.

now i'm hungry :)

I am getting back into it myself.
I got off it during a divorce but I realized why kill myself with stress and diet.

My biggesat problem with adkis was finding the time to cook. But I will make time now.
