The one without the title...

So, I'm reading the Atkins book.. well.. skimming it anyway. It has vegetarian options which makes me giddy! I don't eat much in the way of meat and don't want that to change. Also, I think i'll be able to combine it with WW's Simply Filling plan.. which is, as I understand it, basically low carb/mostly whole lean foods... which will all combine with my efforts of natural eating.

I feel like a freak- combining all of these options. I really don't use sweeteners much, so I'm hoping that this doesn't increase it. Anyway... I'll give the program one month. I'm not taking the month and saying "if I lose [X] pounds, I'll stay on it." What I am saying is that if it works and I find that I'm able to keep it in line with my... what's the word i'm looking for here... preferences? then, I'll continue. If not, I'll go back to healthful eating and counting points.

My dear sweet Twon is going to work with me on it. He's going to talk me through things (I like to talk ad nauseum about things I'm doing) when I need an outlet.. and we'll be able to relent.. and I won't tempt him with pizza and breaded foods.

Well, I'm weighing in on Friday. I expect to have gained 10 pounds because I have been gorging myself.. plus I'm having last hurrahs with carbs (something I've never given up!).. but then the weightloss posts will be more constant. I'll be weighing daily, but I'll announce on Fridays as an official weigh in. I have an app on my iPod touch that will help me track everything.

I'm very scared... nervous... thirstyexcited. This is really supposed to help with PCOS (I tried to link an article.. but there are a ton) and I want to be able to conceive when J and I decide to try to have kids. That is honestly and truly my motivation. Sure, i need to lose weight (which is what I've been doing here all along.. or trying anyway), but my biggest reason was for my future.. not for a bikini.

Ok.. i really need to drink some water.
