    Hello Again!

    Hello everyone! The first time I started atkins was in August 2005. I made it 4 weeks then got discouraged because I was doing everything correctly in my WOE and had gained about 5 pounds. So here I am again weighing the same as I did back then. Only this time I am determined to take control of my life. I have been doing alot of reading and now realize that It could just have been my body retaining water to replace the fat that caused the weight gain. But no more looking back for me! I realize I have a LOT of weight to loose, but I know it is possible just by reading all of your inspirational messages. I hope that some day I can be an inspiration to someone also.

    Thank You!

    Re: Hello Again!

    Hi Joann. You've definitely got the right frame of mind this time around. Don't look back. Don't compare yourself to anybody else. Don't put too much emphasis on the scale. Do it for you. Just do it and it will happen. I've learned that so much of changing our way of life is due to changing our attitudes. Don't look at this as being deprived...instead look at it as an opportunity to eat good, feel good and lose weight. Make friends here, get active in the challenges, journals and forums. Enjoy the journey and take it one day at a time. One pound at a time. You are worth it. We are all here to help!
    Starting Date 3/12/04 285/165/145 - F



    Dedication gives wings to our dreams and keeps them in flight! In One Word...COMMITTMENT.

        Re: Hello Again!

        Thank you both for your support. I think that I have just finally accepted the fact that if I want to be healthy and to live to see my girls grow up I need to change my addiction to food. I am finally honest to admit to myself that it is an addiction. I quit smoking almost 5 years ago after smoking about 16 years and I thought that was hard. This I feel is going to be my biggest challenge yet! But I know that I can do it and being able to come to this board for support and to see how people have handled the challenges I will face will help so much.
