As you know, I've been maintaining on Atkins for five years now. My weight usually hovers between 125-130 lbs, with 130 lbs being the oh-sh*t-I-need-to-reinduct-NOW weight.
What with all the charming work drama lately, I seem to have, uh, exceeded that. Just a little. I typically weigh myself once a week just to keep an eye on things. I'm not normally an emotional eater anyway (except for that whole bulimia thing, which is a separate issue). When I get really upset, I tend to not feel like eating at all. But, I guess this time was different. There was that brownie that one time, and those seminars where they had pizza and ...
Anyway, I found myself at, gasp, 131 lbs! Considering I started out at 163 lbs back in 2003, this is hardly insurmountable. But it explained why all my clothes were starting to get a little tight. So, I reinducted.
Since I'm so close to my "normal" weight, re-inducting doesn't usually produce those gorgeous whooshes of weight loss you see when you have a lot more to lose. I lost 13 lbs my first two weeks on induction when I was at my heaviest. Now, it's more like a 1 lb loss.
But not this time! A 3 lb whoosh! Three days after reinducting!
Thank you, Whoosh Fairy, I needed that!

Just goes to show how fast a couple nasty verboten foods can pack on the water weight and scare you into compliance. (What's really scary is when the weight refuses an Atkins command to go!)
