197 lbs in spite of myself

Yes, I made it to 197, in spite of the fact that I haven't been low carbing like I should. I think, though, that my desire to keep losing weight is forcing me to strategize, which is probably a good thing. I am not letting things get out of control, which is easy to do. The key, once you take off the weight, is probably to develop strategies to at least maintain your desired weight, while living and enjoying life. And, let's face it, food is part of enjoying life. I'm so sick of these fringe groups trying to tell us or to guilt trip us into eating what they think we should eat. I mean the far out tofu protein only groups, PETA, organic foods groups, etc. If you really love tofu and that is part of enjoying life, go for it. But don't push it on me. Tofu is full of estrogen and would actually be bad for me. Besides, enjoying life means some thing like a big juicy steak and a rich chocolate dessert to me. I'm sick of food guilt. I will renew my committment to the only diet that has ever worked for me: Atkins (which is really a diet about enjoying life). No guilt about steak there.
