The Final Countdown! 3 more lbs To Go
[Cue: The Final Countdown video]
I’m in the semi-finals for a competition I can SEE that I will win!
I’m injured. I can’t exercise – not even swimming – yet I have to get to the end now, I’m so close.
“Patience”, my wonderfully kind and supportive husband says.
It’s Mother’s Day weekend in the United States. It would be lovely to enjoy a Celebration meal and a glass (or two) of wine. But I’m so close to the end. I am NOT coming off now. The sheer desperation to finish is a keen, anxiety I could not have imagined.
How do athletes find the resource for that final push? How do they get over the line?
It’s been a l-o-n-g road to this final countdown. A journey that started on December 27, 2011. (That day so that I would be off the Attack Phase and into a new life by January 1, 2012) Maybe this journey started last July when I moved to Jacksonville and finally agreed to go back on my anti-depressant meds? Between July 15 and Christmas, I lost 10 pounds without even trying. I had suddenly noticed when about to start the Dukan Diet that I was 10 bls lighter than I’d been in Myrtle Beach. So odd that just being happy can make such a difference to the body. I’m continually sad and embarrassed that my brain needs this stuff.
The Dukan Sit’es formula said I’d be down 59 lbs by June 24, 2012. I knew it wouldn’t take that long, if I stayed on the wretched thing properly. Now, it might. No exercise? A whole month to lose a measly 3 lbs?
Man, do I ever need support and encouragement now!

About Me
Forever heavy, forever between sizes, I have always struggled to come to terms with being "morbidly obese" vs. facing and, successfully winning, the "battle of the bulge."I've tried Atkins, Weight Watchers, South Beach, Neris and India's Idiot-Proof Diet and the Six Week Program. They all worked . . . for a while. I was unable to stay with any of them without self-sabotage...and if you're readiing this, you know what happens next: the weight comes back on, quickly, plus a little bit more in case you decide to try that again some day!
I've no idea if this one will work. I hope so. I have a good friend who has just lost 50 lbs in 111 days who's my age and has a similar lifestyle. I believe it's possible. Yet I've said that before.
Wish me luck, won't you? I'll certainly need it. Luck, perseverance, gritted determination, etc. If you'll join me, post your results here, too!

Hi
Just came across your blog by accident when looking into the dukan diet. I’ve put on a wee bit weight after giving up smoking a couple of years ago and just want to get back to my old self! I’ve just read some of your past items and just wanted to say well done you have done fantastic so far. The last part is always that hardest part but you’ll get there if you keep on going. So keep up the good work! Debbie
