I am starting a diet for the last time on Tues.

I do not know why, but I am having such a hard time getting started on any sort of diet plan.

I know part of the problem is that I have to look at this as a new life style not a diet and I have not been able to make that connection in my brain yet.

I have had a bunch of false starts over the summer but I basically got no where. Although I am just happy I didn't gain since I quit smoking at the beginning of the summer.

How do you make the switch from diet - to this is my life now??

I am going to start Atkins again on Tuesday, DH is going on with me as well. On Monday we'll go grocery shopping and some meal planning for the week.

I am basically making a 'I am committing to this' statement public to help keep me on track. I can lie to myself, but I wouldn't lie to you guys.

Did anyone cheat yet?
So far I haven't, but it is so hard to stay good during the weekend. Temptation is everywhere!

You quit smoking too- that's a huge accomplishment in itself. I need to slap on the patch myself...

Good luck on the diet!

I cheated a little at DH's aunt's house - we went there for dinner last night. I drank extra water when I got home and will continue today. I hope I am not set back too far.

How's everyone else doing?

Thanks Finally!
