Hi strangers! Oh wait, I'm the stranger since I haven't been on the board for a reeeeeeeaaaaalllllyyyyy long time .

I was on and off the wagon a few times over the last couple months or so. Last Sunday I decided to restart Atkins. Here's why:

Last Friday night my husband and I went to eat at a local Mexican restaurant that we love. When we were leaving one of the guys who works there (who I knew from going there in the past and also from salsa dancing) said to me "has perdido mucho peso!" That means "you've lost a lot of weight!" It really struck me how far I had come since the end of last February. He hadn't seen me since I lost all the weight so my weightloss was "new" to him even thought it was "old" to me. It really put things into perspective. As I was losing the 40-ish pounds people would compliment me and I really liked that recognition. I missed it! Not that I rely on other people's opinions to succeed, but it's definitely a great motivator to know other people notice.

Luckily, I hadn't really gained much weight back (a few pounds) when I was eating non-Atkins. However, I was out of control and I hated that. It's amazing to me how I am when I am not eating low-carb. All I think about is food. Even when I'm stuffed and miserable I want to eat more even though logically I know it's not wise. When I eat low-carb I eat when I'm hungry and don't obsess about the next thing I'm going to eat. I don't understand why it works that way for me, but it does. I can't explain it. It's weird.

Hopefully, I'm back for good...

It's nice to see old faces (Blue, Chick, and Jamie) and new faces, too!
