Hi Everyone,
I was on Atkins back in 2004 and lost a lot of weight, I got very thin. People started to say I was way to thin, so, for 1.5-2 yrs. all I did was eat, but, I kept to low carb and sugar free, no sugar added and sugarless. All this time staying pretty thin yet. Then all of a sudden, just in the last few months, I have been packing the weight on terribly. Now, once again I have about 15-20 lbs. to lose. I have no clothes that fit me. I have one pair of bib overalls that I wear daily and I hate them, they are hard to get up and down, especially when you are in a hurry. Also, I am reminded that I was 6 yrs. younger then, when I started Atkins. I keep starting and stopping on Atkins since about 6 months ago, just to give up in a few days and go back to my old habits, as if I was too thin again, not! So, this time, I have started again this last Saturday and I will not walk away from the lifestyle again, I will not start stuffing the chocolate's and everything else in my mouth again. I refuse. I am cleaning my closet, I have all my skinny clothes in there, I am just going to push them closer to the middle, I will not buy new clothes to fit my size, I will lose the weight and wear what I had and loved,(my skinny clothes) with the economy the way it is now, I can't really run to the store and get something to wear anyway, so there are no second chances for me. Atkins really did help me back then so I am believing that everything will turn out for the best once again. I just need to keep focused and remember if I go to cheat, that, that is instantaneous gratification and to lose weight is 24/7. I am kind of new to this site, I would love to have some buddies to talk with, to encourage, to laugh with and to complain to as well. If anyone is interested, give me a holler. It doesn't matter what diet you are on, we all have the same goal, to lose, to be happy, to be thinner. Thanks for listening.
