My First Week

Last Monday, I started Atkins. It is now Sunday. One more week of Induction, then I move on to OWL. My mistake in the past has been to stay on Induction for a month, or longer, thinking I could lose more weight quickly. But instead it caused me to give up. A woman can not live on 15 net carbs for too long. It makes her go crazy, it does.

I only got a slight headache this week, which surprised me. I've drank close to 2 liters, or more, of water a day. Eventually, I'd like to move up to 3 liters a day, but I must give my bladder a chance to recuperate.

Thursday, the housemates and I went to Outback Steakhouse. I really love those little brown loaves of bread, and it made me sad that I couldn't eat any. So instead I got the Melbourne, which is their porterhouse. It was so delicious, and even though its a huge piece of flesh, I didn't feel bloated and gross afterward, like I would have, if I had eaten the bread. Plus, I had leftovers.

The Melbourne notwithstanding, I am eating fairly healthily. So all those naysayers who scream "OMG ATKINS! EAT VEGETABLES! LOW CARB WILL KILL YOU!!!!!111!!!!!!1!" can just kiss my rotund but beautiful arse. I am eating my vegetables.

I can totally do another week of exactly this. Also, I should probably weigh myself, to see the weight loss. I know I've lost weight, I can feel it. I just don't know how much. Anyway, it doesn't matter, really. I'm going to be healthier. And that is all that matters.
